Bloom County, a 1980s cartoon-comic strip that dealt with socio-political issues as seen through the eyes of highly exaggerated characters (e.g. Bill the Cat and Opus the Penguin) and humorous analogies.
Creator Berkeley Breathed's first regularly published strip, Academia Waltz, appeared in the Daily Texan in 1978. The strip attracted notice from the editors of the Washington Post who recruited him to do a nationally syndicated strip. On December 8, 1980, Bloom County made its debut and featured some of the characters from Academia Waltz, including former frat-boy Steve Dallas and the paraplegic Vietnam War veteran Cutter John.
Bloom County earned Berkeley the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning in 1987. The strip eventually appeared in over 1,200 newspapers around the world until he retired the daily strip in 1989, stating, "A good comic strip is no more eternal than a ripe melon. The ugly truth is that in most cases, comics age less gracefully than their creators". The comic continues in recirculation on GoComics!

Try more like 25 years, and for disappointing sequels at that….

But if you struck him down, he would have become more powerful.

artybee: Lucas says he has something in the works - a SW tv series, another clone war movie and maybe the long awaited follow up to the Luke Skywalker saga… Mind you, he says that pretty much every year, so who knows?

Well Binkley Walker has gotten carried away with his Jedi status.
Of all 6 movies : Star Wars, The Empire Stikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Phantom Menace, The Clone Wars, and Return of the Sith; the first 3, I can watch over and over. The 4th has cool new characters and some good historical value. The last 2 can’t hold my interest.
I won’t expect much if there will be more to come, but if another movie does arise I will see it, thumbs up or thumbs down.

As long as it doesn’t have Jar Jar Binks in it.

Binkey… you could have used a Jedi mind trick. Most Star Wars characters traditionally just loose a hand or an arm. LOL! :-D

Well, This comic strip turns out to be rather prophetic.
