Bloom County is an American comic strip by Berkeley Breathed which originally ran from December 8, 1980, until August 6, 1989. It examined events in politics and culture through the viewpoint of a fanciful small town in Middle America, where children often have adult personalities and vocabularies and where animals can talk.

Yes, I'd say that's very much the point of the strip. The journalist is being incredibly intrusive in persuit of their own career. All the characters in this series are basically caractures, it's very much a product of it's time, but it still resonates today.
Edited to add an explaination as my initial comment wasn't helpful on it's own.
