  • Rejoice!!!! Bloom County is back!!!!!

    After a 25 year hiatus, Berke Breathed is publishing Bloom County again.

    I found the strip on Facebook. I don't think it's coming to the newspapers.

        Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

            I'll pass on those.

            Honestly, the different views on the same issues between Doonesbury and Bloom County were amazing when they were both around. I love(d) both for their sharp wit and comedic gold.

                    In his comments, Breathed suggests that the FB-only release will allow him freedom from the tyranny of corporate censors and the strip will be more edgy/profane/funny this way. I'm sure they will be pirated here and there but haven't seen it yet (Also nothing new since the first strip at 7 a.m. yesterday so will not hold to a schedule, at least not a daily schedule)
                    Anyway, here it was.

                      One of my great memories of UMaine was when Breathed came and spoke one semester, and drew a Bill the Cat for me on my program.

                          I had a Bill the Cat baseball cap at one time. Don't know where it went.
