All I want for Christmas...

Are the Bloom County: The Complete Library books.



For anyone who has been following me for any period of time, you know what a massive "Bloom County, "Outland," "Opus," and Berkeley Breathed fan in general I am.

Two weeks ago, I was cleaning out my garage, and I came across the one and only "Bloom County" book in my collection that I just could NOT find. As I stood there staring at it, I thought, "You know it would be really nice of Opus and the gang got the same level of hard-bound, definitive collection, treatment that "Calvin and Hobbes," "The Peanuts," and "The Far Side" received.

When I was done cleaning out my garage, I logged on to the ol' interwebs and wandered over to Mr. Breathed's site. To my shock an amazement, I found an udpate on his site saying the first two books in the collection were available for order on Amazon as of that very same week!

It was nothing short of a comic strip fan's miracle.

I'll pick up the entire collection, and I really hope they have lots of extras in them. When the day came that Opus finally graced the Sunday comics for the last time, it hit me pretty hard, but with any luck this collection will be something I can share with my son on a road trip somewhere down the... uh... road.

So go now... scurry on out and pick them up! While you're at it, grab me a couple of copies too.

I'll be too busy trying ot learn the tuba solo to "U Stink But I Love U."
