Thought for sure it'd be the guy with a cast, since a REAL injured person knows you walk with the crutch on the same side as your good foot. Inspector Danger has used this important information to send people up the river before, but I guess this time he doesn't care.

Has there ever been a Phantom storyline where the villain of the day is a corrupt Jungle Patrol leader who starts using the JP for evil, because the Unknown Commander is never around and thus obviously can't stop them?

Keep looking! Keep Watching the Skies Comix!  Containment protocols have failed! They're turning, and it's happening faster than we thought! They've become Ballard Dogs, every one of them!

So on the topic of Outland. Is there actually any story arcs in it, or is each strip a Sunday-sized one-off full of non sequiturs and bizarre imagery? Because I'm not enjoying it nearly as much as I did Bloom County.

Outland might have been an attempt at recharging Berke's creative batteries by starting over with a mostly new cast, but instead it just continued the decline evident near the end of BC.

Reading Juliet Jones and Rip Kirby makes me realize how bland most of today's soap-opera strips are in both art and writing. Reading Working Daze and Dilbert makes me miss My Cage a little. It wasn't amazing, but at least the characters were tolerable. Selachian posted:The former, I'm afraid. Outland might have been an attempt at recharging Berke's creative batteries by starting over with a mostly new cast, but instead it just continued the decline evident near the end of BC. Oddly enough, I thought Bloom County was the only one of the three big '80s comic strips (the other two being Calvin & Hobbes and The Far Side) that didn't really slide in quality towards the end.
