The thing that a lot of people forget about BLOOM COUNTY is that it was just about the only strip--and I'm including DOONESBURY(the one time it did, it had to make this big huge weeklong deal out of it)--that made any reference to sex or anything related whatsoever, regardless of the somewhat childish ways Breathed("snugglebunnies") had to phrase it for his venue. I'd call it a groundbreaker if anyone had followed him. Breathed really seems a bit of a one-off in that respect.
