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.

For anyone wondering, the coffee contained a viral pathogen that was turning him into a werewolf. The next two panels have him wolfing out, and attacking his colleague, and then tripling in mass, grabbing the blonde and climbing up the building
Or you could go back and read the strip from the 10th, where Milo explains the problem of Steve having just been to the dentist and the Novocain not wearing off in time for Steve's high school reunion.
the author released two bonus panels to this exact strip, where his mouth gets larger and he swallows the other person whole before then finishing his Martini, setting the morbid tone for the proceeding comic
I was wondering. Thanks for explaining.
From the 10th.
I really, really like this development.
