Yeah, I remember “There Oughta Be a Law,” and that little “thank you” that always appeared in the corner, with a picture of a guy tipping his hat.

Once in a while when I’m paying homage (plagarizing) in an SDMB post, I add a “Thanx and a tip of the hat to -----.” In homage to that strip.

My (and seemingly everyone’s) three strips, right there. Does anyone remember the Bloom County where Milo and I-forget the old fart’s name went hunting the Wild Liberal.

The mating call: “No nukes, no nukes!”

_blam, blam, blamblamblam_ “Ahhhhh, gun control! Gun control!”

_weakly, from the grass_ “Socialized medicine . . . ?”
