As far as the decision about who to send back goes — isn’t Dave four years older than Mell? If she went back to when he was six, she’d be two. I’m not sure whether that’s a good reason not to send her, or the best possible reason TO send her. Two-year-old Mell with a gun would be adorable.

Oddly, I have that /exact Li’l Mell page/ open in another tab. And I noticed the synchronicity, though I already knew he was Artie.

(TUNE: "P.S. I Love You", The Beatles)

As I'm u-ri-na-ting,
All at once I see
I must be creating ...
Syn-chro-ni-ci-ty!

As I'm in the boys room, going potty,
Amidst graffiti naughty,
Synchro-nicity ...
See, see, see!

Through three points in time, I must be matchin'
The place and then the action ...
Synchro-nicity ...
See, see, see!

Thunderbird, I could lose
My vir-gin-i-ty ...
But instead, I should choose
Syn-chro-ni-ci-ty!

Although Megan Hawkins I could score with,
Priorities are more with
Synchro-nicity ...
See, see, see!
Soon I'll be ...
Back to me!

It seems all of these wall scrawlings are fundamental facts about the fabric of the universe.

Off-panel head inserts: 18.

It just occurred to me that BFFs is wrong. Like Courts Martial or culs-de-sac, the plural for BFF (best friend forever) doesn't come at the end... but kids do that anyway when they say, "best friends forever". So it should be BFsF?

Just for reference, attempting to combine priorities and involve Megan in the synchronicity would be…bad.

Drinky Crow, YES.

My college has some great real-life bathroom graffiti, including a fatalistic poem written across two square meters of space, pi to twenty places, and (written by three different sources), "ARE YOU HUMAN?" "ARE YOU?" and "I'm a martian."

If I recall correctly, "Bloom County" included at LEAST two references to foot-piddling during its run.

One, as shinyhappygoth has pointed out, was uttered by Rosebud the Basselope, when someone--I think it was an Army officer--was describing the horrors of a basselope attack. In the last panel, Rosebud appeared for the first time and, addressing the fourth wall, inquired, "Should I piddle on his foot?"

The other occurred when, through the mysterious workings of his anxiety closet, Binkley was taken into the future for a glimpse of his adult life. He and his older self are standing in the yard of "Binkley Manor," talking, and the younger Binkley pauses to observe, "There's a gopher wetting on my foot." The older Binkley, addressing the offending off-panel animal, responds, "Bad dog, Rambo....BAD DOG!"

I am, sadly, forced to provide these solely from memory. My "Bloom County" books, along with my "Calvin and Hobbes" books and several others, were in a box that got lost in the mail when I mailed them from my old home to my new one.
