Breathed really shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. Outland did indeed morph into Bloom Countiy part 2, except it was dramatically watered down because of the restrictions he’d imposed on it. The weekly format really did him no favors. I understand he made the switch because he was feeling burnt out, but the end result just didn’t maintain the momentum that had given Bloom County its energy. There were other limitations that tied it down, but I think the biggest loss of all was Milo. Opus may have been the star and the heart, but Milo had been the glue that held the entire show together. Without Milo acting as a cohesive agent - and instigator of various projects and misadventures - everyone else felt kind of rudderless and adrift. (This was particularly felt, I think, when Steve Dallas eventually returned full-time. Without Milo to play off against, Steve’s antics had a lot less bite.)
