Bloom County Babylon: Five Years of Basic Naughtiness

Summary: The best compilation of the best comic from the 80s...
Review: Where have you gone, Opus? We need you now more than ever. I just checked this out again from my shelf, and after Sept. 11, I sure could use a laugh. Opus and company never disappoint. Along with the Far Side, Doonesbury, and Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County led the "modern" period of comic strips out of the Family Circus and Apartment 3-G hell that we have unfortunately now returned to...

Bloom County created an entire world full of funny, amazing and outrageous characters that stand the test of time and break out of the monotony of the vast majority of other comics. And, by the way, it was also the best drawn comic strip ever, IMHO.

It's a shame that most of these books are out of print, with only this book still hanging around. If you want to check out a real comic, get this book!
