When "Bloom County" started in
late 1980, Milo's granddad "Major" was half the strip
(though if you've made it this far, you probably already know
that). By this point his role was reduced to some running gag
about hunting animals whose politics differed from his.
"We shall not have to attack it; it will fall like an
overripe fruit into our hands."
This week's Saturday strip is missing, but that was the site's doing, not mine. You'll see a possible reason later.
