Going back to Bloom County
The American male at ages 10-34 I have my brother to thank (and you can use ‘thank’ in its normal or sarcastic tone) for a lot of my pop culture tics — he’s to thank for my forty years worth of X-Men comics knowledge and also my eternal crushes on Hitchcock’s ice blondes. But the thing I thank him most for is introducing me to Berkeley Breathed’s Bloom County comic strip (he bought me the Classics of Western Literature collection as a gift), because there’s no other way I would have even

This wekend: Royal Flush Festival

The worst comic strip in the world
Here is Thursday’s episode of a comic strip called Adams’ Apples, which appears exclusively in my local paper, The Oregonian, and is not available online. The artist, Jim Adams, is a local schoolteacher, and the strip is apparently autobiographical. It is also consistently amateurishly drawn, awkwardly worded, and unfunny.
