who I am
I'm MaryAnn Johanson: writer and ponderer in New York City who drinks too much wine and thinks way too much about such inconsequences as movies, TV, books, and the meaning of life.

Not "Doonesbury," but "Bloom County."

MaryAnn, I'm saddened that you didn't know that was Bloom County. This particular strip is part of a series of clips where Opus becomes the entertainment critic. Comedy gold, all of them.
I miss Bloom County.

"Bloom County". Bad blog poster. Bad. Or at least, not very good.

At least now we know how often MaryAnn reads the funny papers...

I do know that it's *Bloom County,* which I used to read religiously, when I read actual paper newspapers, before the Internet. It was just a slip of the brain.

One of my husband and my favorite catch phrases.
Bloom County is on my very short-list of favorite comics.
