Title: Now THIS is a miracle!

Bloom County.  It's back (https://www.facebook.com/berkeleybreathed).

Actually, I'm not sure which is the larger miracle: that Bloom County is back, or that it provides the first reason I've seen to actually visit Facebook...

What? Again?

Honestly, he was starting to lose it towards the end of the original run. This was made obvious when he started a spin-off strip starring the worst character he'd created and had to bring Opus in later to keep the readership up.

Our local didn't carry Outland, so I never got to see it, but yeah, it wasn't the same.  This looks like he's gotten his original attitude back.

And why now?  Well, there was this exchange under the first new strip to be posted:
Quote from: Berkeley Breathed's Facbook Page
Larry Warshall (a fan): Dear Mr. Breathed.With Donald Trump returning to the Political Spectum, I believe it is only fitting. I have missed you guys.

Berkeley Breathed: This creator can't precisely deny that the chap you mention had nothing to do with it.

Now if we can only coax Bill Watterson and Gary Larson out of retirement...

These are true miracles, and way better than turning water into wine, or a staff into a snake. https://youtu.be/JXEiKPxCSdA If ancient magicians did this they would be gods now.
