    Something about the letter makes me think of Monty Python.

    BTW, Iā€™m guessing that letter is something she wrote to Mr. Breathed.

    Harper Lee wrote him a fan letter that he promised not to release until she died.

    Thank you, Ms. Lee, for being a force for bringing Bloom County back. Wish you had stopped with ā€˜To Kill A Mockingbirdā€™.

    Well, I am not famous in the slightest. So, I shall speak up for all those nobodies out here who completely agree! I love Bloom County! I have for several decades.

    The monogrammed stationary is hers, too, and I suspect the note to BB from Nelle Harper Lee is genuine. BB is sharing a precious memento with us while paying tribute to the recently deceased beloved author or ā€œdotty old lady.ā€ R.I.P.Opus does not go alone, and I donā€™t refer to just Bill. Peaceā€¦.

    Bill doesnā€™t readā€¦he just absorbs while he sleeps. That can be just as comforting.

    Well written, Harper Lee, well writtenā€¦She definitely saved Bloom County with that letter. It just would not be the same without our precious penguin.

    I knew that this strip was coming as soon as I heard Harper Leeā€™s death announcement on the news. BB loved Harper more than any other woman except maybe his own wife and mother. And as this letter reveals, Harper loved BB back. Beautiful!
