The syndicate which distributes Bloom County to your local newspaper
is issuing previously published strips (some of them several years old) 
until Breathed recovers.  He was released last week from the hospital
and is expected to return to work in a month or so.  The last of the 
pre-accident Sunday strips was run 2/23.

The most noticeable difference in the artwork appeared in a few of the
very early strips featuring Opus.  The shape of his nose was quite 
different then.  Otherwise, the artwork seems pretty stable.
