|} About a year ago Hans Bjordhal, writer of "Where the Buffalo Roam,"

|} alt.comics.buffalo-roam.

David Farley also distributes his own semi-daily cartoon script "Doctor Fun"
on alt.binaries.pictures.misc. He has a bizarre, Larson-esque brand of humor.
The first one that I saw featured a guy with a mouthful of food and a pained
expression, and the caption read, "Legos, the ultimate roughage food."
O.K.
