I’ve gotta say, the alternate panel is way funnier! And extra punny

Possibly dated material aside... is there some relevance I am missing in a related After Dark episode that would explain R's positioning in Panel 1? Note that I am a fan of the positioning... just that it seems odd to work in that position. Now if I missed an After Dark episode that explains why she might have a little trouble sitting down... then... link?

You just helped me win a bet with my wife. I had $20 that said someone would post that comment within the first hour.

Okay, but potentially dated reference aside, the alternate panel is (I think) much funnier

I think what you're doing is very smart and appreciate the effort required. However, dated references aren't a problem if enough context is provided so that someone can intuit it or easily look it up (e.g. top 5 result in search). For example, it can be a little annoying watching a stand-up routine and they just whip out a quick topical punchline that was only in the news for a minute several years ago.

You hit the nail on the head! “Bloom County” was every bit as good as “Calvin & Hobbes” in its day. People still read “Calvin,” but “Bloom” is really hard to enjoy by anyone under 40!

You're being too hard on yourself, Brad. Comics are a timeless medium. I'm sure when I introduce "Bloom County" and "Doonesbury" to my own kids, they'll know who Michael Dukakis was and what the Iran-Contra Scandal was about.
