Let’s see…. If I were looking for an idea for an instant comic strip, I could start with a hungover penguin, add an obsessive youthful editor, insert a running gag about a “comic stripper,” and then mutter something about the hopelessness of the situation. Or not.

The paper was called the Bloom Beacon in the early days of the strip. I always wondered why Breathed changed the name to Picayune.

“Picayune” is funnier: “petty; worthless” per OED. No joke.

I know what he can do! Re-run an old strip from the 80’s! No one will ever notice!

@hariseldon59 – Don’t forget New Orleans’ paper, The Times-Picayune, a real newspaper.
