Some time ago, I mentioned there was an exhaustive collection of “Bloom County” comic strips coming soon to a bookstore near you. I think I’ve also mentioned that I adore Berke Breathed’s masterwork, but — despite the fact the book is out now and that I covet it like a certain hobbit-y thing covets a certain piece of gaudy jewelry — I have yet to lay claim to a copy. Ain’t it Cool News has seen fit to torment me by running an interview with Scott Dunbier, the editor of the new collections. The piece is surprisingly lengthy and also quite interesting.

I must have missed the previous post. Now I feel like Gollum experiencing the lust for his “precious.”
It will be mine. Oh, yes. It will be mine.

Not too long before I found out about these new collections, I went back through all my old BC books. The strip really holds up well. It’s got something that most modern comics lack: comedy.
