Even if opposition forces get their wish and win the next election, there is no guarantee that they can fix things. When the UDF took over in 1991, it lasted only a year before being tossed out. Its current leader and potential Prime Minister, Ivan Kostov, is an unflashy, bureaucratic type who was Finance Minister in the failed UDF government five years ago.

The Far Side's popularity, however, has never faded. Larson continues to rack up impressive sales of books (31 million), calendars (41 million) and greeting cards (80 million).
