Even though the first time I saw this one was last time Bloom County was posted, I think this is one of my favourite ones. Along with "two dips and a dad."

Also glad to see The Creeps and Ham Shears back!

Glad you're enjoying it! Like I said, it's not talked about as much as the Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes are as comics from that era, but I think it's as good as they are.

Now, posting a few bonus comics since the Sunday ones have started and I want them to line up right.

Well, video CDs were a thing. You could use them to play stuff on a DVD player if you only had a CD burner, not a DVD burner.

VCDs were a huge thing during the transition period of VHS and DVD.
You could fit like one, or TWO episodes of a show, at most, on a VHS, but fit alot more on a VCD. Not as much as a DVD and at VHS quality but still.

VHS tapes held way more than VCDs. I had a bunch of VCDs with movies split into halves because you couldn't fit a whole movie on one disc. You could get tapes that were four hours long, and would hold even more than that if you had a fancy VCR.

The advantage of VCDs was that they were smaller and therefore easier to transport and store and, most importantly, they were super easy to copy. You only needed one friend with a high-speed internet connection and they could copy stuff for everyone.

Tapes that only had one or two episodes on them were just media distributors taking the piss because they could get away with it.

I would hate to start the new thread off on a bad note, so I'll just slide this Luann in here real quick before we cross over.




1. Vacuum what? You have no floor.
2. If Greg was planning to drag this into the new year anyway, why didn't they just have Luann give her dad some of her dumb art or something and have her make a New Year's resolution to clean her room and keep it that way through the year? That would have been way more age appropriate and would fit the timing of the strip.

I'm buying a Modesty Blaise Anthology for a friend from Amazon. He's big into spy/espionage adventure but has never heard of the series.

If I had to choose just one, which one should I get him?

The Black Pearl's not a bad one. Really, stick with Holdaway for an introduction; Romero is a great draftsman, but I find his love of fanservice tends to get in the way at times, especially near the end of the strip's run.
