no more Caspar...

normally i don't care about someone political that dies, but i'll make an exception in this case. i remember reading this strip in the book (didn't see it originally published) and finding it funny, so when i saw that Caspar had died, i figured this was fitting.



i'll swipe Caspar's response from here (which was copied out of the "One Last Peek")

The strip elicited the following response on official stationery from the Department of Defense:

Dear Mr. Breathed,

Many a morn I've longed to see
A comic strip be kind to me.
On 30 March, before my eyes
A penguin watched a warm sunrise.
In this land of so much bouty
Could I have that great Bloom County?

Sincerely,

Caspar Weinberger.


(he was sent the comic)
