    Yeah, as far as we know, he didn’t smoke, drink, curse or fool with loose women. Every other scruple you can think of though? Fair game!

    Oh my! The historical irony here is so thick, I can’t even wade through it! If only Mom knew then what we know now!

    Or MLK, for that matter. Not perfect, but a far better role model than Ol’ One-Glove.

    Heh, fess up mom. It’s because you couldn’t get away with indulging your Michael-crush in your own bedroom. Bet you go in to tidy up Oliver’s room a lot, eh?

    Wallpapering his screen would have been easier and you could change it every time a new hero fell.

    MJ pajamas would have been even spookier.

    Bill Cosby wallpaper would’ve worked then, and it would work today.

    Cosby IS a role model for anyone!

    Oh, Oliver – I’m sure if you asked nicely Michael would let you play with his boa constrictor…

    Such a role model, he had a thing for little boys, dangled babies over balconies and considered it normal. Trememdous entertainer, but not a role model.

    ‘Didn’t fool around with loose women.’ True enough. They were too old for him.

    When was it time for bed at Neverland? When the BIG HAND was on the LITTLE HAND.

    jakebb2: Bloom County has not been written for quite some time now. I don’t know exactly when the current set appeared, but Berke Breathed began writing Bloom County after he graduated the University of Texas around 1978 (could be ‘77, but I forget exactly). So, the picture on the wall was current at the time this particular panel was created. I believe that is what basilimthebeggar was referring to when he said “Oh my, in retrospect, even better than when it came out!”

    It is a little difficult to hang out with loose women if you are “busy with the boys”. ;)

    It’s a shame that even in death Michael will never get the respect that he deserved because of weak minded sheep who believe EVERYTHING that media tells them instead of doing a little research or better yet going to those who knew the source to find the truth. No. It’s better to feed off of our own supposed judgments instead of searching for the truth, no matter how hard it hides itself. It’s just too much work for the lazy & the simple minded. Just open up your mouths & say “BAH!” & get it over w/. Michael, I know you are @ peace. I know that you are in a better world than this. See you on the other side, sweetheart.
