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.

Is this character a "generic attractive woman" or a celebrity that most readers in 1983 would have recognized?

It looks, to me, like Bobbi's cousin Quiche Lorraine. It may just be the way Breathed draws his characters.

Looking at it more, the hair is different. I want to say the nose too... but her nose changes between the 1st sand 4th panel. So I am going to go with "generic attractive woman".
