Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for January 11, 2025

Well, America’s most overrated poet (and I live in the next town over from Amherst). Robert Frost says “Hold my beer!”

Removing letters to maintain the cadence is cheating.

I know nothing about poetry, is it maintaining the cadence?

What the heck is maintaining the cadence, anyway? Who comes up with this stuff?

Anyway, do better.

Today’s Sunday strip is mostly legible. Still, the middle left panel may be hard to read depending on the width of the browser window (as the scaling isn’t perfect). This is the underlying file, which is just a little better:

Oooooops!!!
