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.
This community is for Bloom County and associated media from 1980-1989, the life of the original strip.
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).
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.
I know Bill the Cat is kind of iconic and popular with many, but he just never 'did it' for me. Breathed had previously introduced some fun weirdness in to the strip, but this to me is around where the strip started sliding towards... chaos or something, eventually.
Bill really comes into his own next book. Once he is in the daily stuff. But he is the best in Bootleg.
