I looked for this online for a while but couldn't find it. Someone from ---- found it for me, so I'm posting it here for a record.

Ah yes, Watterson's observation on Breathed's expensive hobby of power-boats. I do not recall what prompted this, though...

Judging from the fatcat standing on the pier (and his speech balloon), and what I know of Watterson's aesthetics, I guess it's about a "protest" from syndicated cartoonists to request more paper-space for their work (or maybe just a more traditional labor dispute); specifically, questioning Berke's commitment.

AH! I think this is because Berke took that "break" where he was supposed to be quitting cartooning. (Maybe because fo his "vision" for his work?) And, of course, in a few years Bloom County came back as.. something. I remember it was Bloom County, and then would sometimes alternate where it was "Outland". Hmm. I didn't follow it that well.
