r.<br><br><b>I think that a lot of kids in the 80s sort of started with <i>Garfield</i> when they were really young and then graduated to <i>Bloom County</i>. Do you have many memories of encounters with fans of <i>Bloom County</i>?<br>
</b>In the heyday, I would do signings at comic-book stores, which I&rsquo;d never seen before&#151;nor the fans of such. It was a bit of a shocker. This is pre-Comic Con. I was stunned because I could never have been in one of those crowds myself. It wasn&rsquo;t in my DNA.
