I never appreciated FBoFW in my younger days, but over the past five years or so have really begun to appreciate what she's accomplished, and why so many other cartoonists marvel at her. <BR/><BR/>But yeah, since the big announcement, she's <I>really</I> been ramming everything home, forcing the plot wrapups and generally playing the part of a creator who's no longer creative, just going along on autopilot.<BR/><BR/>I'm <I>not</I> optimistic on her planned "remixes" of older strips coming up. If she wanted to keep her hand in the game, only not full time, then why not let her syndicate run her old strips from the beginning, ala Peanuts, and continue just producing Sunday color spots, like Berke Breathead or Bill Ahmed are doing? I'm not going to argue that Opus or Outland was anywhere near as good as Bloom County, but the whole remix approach strikes me as kind of pointless.Jayme Lynn Blaschkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919766841748858790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-69321398400052158272007-02-23T19:47:00.000-05:002007-02-23T19:47:00.000-05:00So, maybe I'm alone - but I still really love FBoF...So, maybe I'm alone - but I still really love FBoFW. I'm sad to see it depart from its current form, but the new iteration will be following Michael's family now, who I still happen to like (mostly).<BR/><BR/>I agree that the chain of events to date have been totally preposterous, but maybe we've gotten too used to FBoFW mirroring Real Life, where things DO go wrong, and bad things DO happen to good people? <BR/><BR/>One thing though - if Anthony doesn't get rid of that damn mustache, I might start a letter campaign. I'm just sayin'.Talhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698327028184363849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-37212470444190304362007-02-23T17:17:00.000-05:002007-02-23T17:17:00.000-05:00Don't forget that Anthony propositioned Liz right ...Don't forget that Anthony propositioned Liz right after that attack.
