Oliver Wendell Jones was undoubtedly the second coolest "smart" character to grace the funny pages or anywhere else (the absolute coolest is Dexter of "Dexter's Laboratory", but I digress.) Here he is, coincidentally also on a phone, with Opus the Penguin nearby, in this unprinted strip.
January 1985: Oliver gets a "Banana Junior 6000" computer, which seems to have a mind of its own.
The thing ran around Bloom County for all of 1985, until he was declared "obsolete" by Oliver in November.

Bank of America is about to go belly up!!" His current whereabouts are unknown, but there's a low-resolution photo available online (from the 1980s, when digital camera technology was in its infancy).

 Techdirt:The MPAA Caves (Sort Of) On Screener Ban
Oliver Wendell Jones writes "This article at E! Online News states that they are getting ready to overturn the ban on screener DVDs and have reached a compromise on who will still be able to receive screeners.
It looks like they're leaving out a lot of people who benefited from them before, but it probably still won't have any effect on movie piracy in the long run." This sounds similar to earlier rumors of an overturn.
If the pirate wants to go through the arduous process of filming a TV screen to get around this, then couldn't they be nailed by placing a small piece of text in one of the frames/scenes that was digitally modified per release CD too?

Flap in "Beetle Bailey" (1970), Clyde and Ginny in "Doonesbury" (1970-75), and Oliver Wendell Jones in "Bloom County" (1985) are Black caricatures drawn consistent with the manner in which the white figures are caricatured.
