The Academia Waltz was Berke Breathed's first cartoon, published daily from 1978 to 1979 in The Daily Texan at The University of Texas at Austin, where he was a student. The strip focused primarily on college life, although it sometimes made references to big news stories of the time (such as the incident at Three Mile Island in 1979).

@Null-Pointer
I thought I’d seen this same thing just a little while ago. Maybe somebody thought we forgot.

Academia Waltz precedes Bloom County, & are by the same artist. So it seems he thought of this idea for AW and liked it enough to repeat it in BC. And prollly the GoComics sequence of the two comics is unrelated, & it’s just coincidence that this AW appears a mere week after the same topic showed up in BC. No conspiracies here. You may go on about your business.
