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.

  1. This community is for Bloom County and associated media from 1980-1989, the life of the original strip.

  2. As this is a re live the media as it was released community, do not post strips that were released after the date of the most recent strip posted (the day's date in 1982 for 2025, 1983 in 2026 etc).

  3. Additional media posted should be limited to 3 items per day as to not spam. If you have more items to post beyond that add it to your post rather than making additional posts.

Edited for clarity and less terseness.

Bloom County is a serialized daily strip, this story line starts here on the 4th, it is interrupted by Sunday the 5th strip, it then continues on the 6th and the yesterday's on the 7th.

With these serialized strips if something lacks context it is likely in a previous day's strip.
