Dang. I had forgotten how bland early bloom county was. I was pretty young at the point in time this was published, but just barely old enough to be able to read the funny papers. I loved bloom county, but I think my mind latched onto the later stuff more.
There's a lot of gentle, wry, observational humor going on in this period which directly flowed from Doonesbury as I recall it. "Bland" to some, maybe, but there was a solid, national audience for this stuff at one time.
But with the rise of MTV and the culture shifting so much and so fast in the 80's, I suppose Breathed gradually saw the writing on the wall, removing a good chunk of the subtlety over time.
