Long live Bloom County! And Billy and the Boingers.

Jesus, I just went back and found the post you’re referring to — and I’d missed your link to the “missing” Bloom County strips. Damn, what a find.
I swear I remember several of those, but maybe they just fit in so well that they sound familiar. (The “New Coke” one I’m certain I saw, unless they ran one similar to it that’s in the books.) I haven’t gotten the books out in a long time, but every once in a while I tell someone how it would have gotten them through Reagan and then I think, “I should read through those again…”
Brilliant stuff.

YEah starting this October "Bloom COunty" is being rereleased...
…in hardcover, with Breathed providing “context” pages to explain the political humor in an attempt to make me feel as old as fucking possible.
Not that that will keep me from buying them…

I’ve just spent half an hour looking at those old ones and the changes he made in the Opus book. Now I’m scared he’s going to make more changes. … but yeah, still will buy it.

Well shit . . .
I think I just figured out what my brother’s getting for Christmas. He’s much more of a Bloom County fan than I am!
One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.
point proven

I remembered it, but my god it would’ve taken me all night to find it. I was just wondering how in hell you guessed the right book or even section, but I imagine it was a lot of trial and error.

I loved Calvin and Hobbes, too. It was just different. The end of Bloom County, The Far Side and C&H felt like successive gut punches by the universe. But looking at strips that carry on forever, it’s probably best they quit while they were still great.

Milo, as in Bloom and Aukerman.

PS
My faves are when Opus smokes a Marlboro, when while Opus is watching Mister Rogers he pronounces “public servant” as “bozo”, and when the farmer says, “tain’t corn -it’s dope” then offers Senator Bedfellow a bushel to take home to his wife.

Beauties, all of them.
Speaking of … is it wrong that I had the hots for Lola Granola? Hot, unstable, and willing to date even a lowly penguin? Sign me up.
