Any "Bloom County" fans out there?

It is possibly the best cartoon stip ever!
Millo, Opus, Binkley with monster in the closet. John, who's chair became the Starship Enterprise.

Bill the Cat, My hero

Oop. Ack. Thpppppt.

Don't blame me, I voted for Bill and Opus.

I think I have all the books. Including, by the way, Billy and the Boingers, with the vinyl record still in place.

Strangely enough, I once worked at a little oil company where the guy I believe was the model for Steve Dallas worked. He was a friend of Breathed's, and he was the spitting image, including the eternal cigarette.

Oh, yeah, I was raised on all things Berkeley Breathed!

Here's a picture of my dad, holding my sister the night she was born- you can see Opus on his t-shirt, peeking out over her (that's me on the right): http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...&id=1486026434

And here's my sister, a few years later, dressed up as Opus for Halloween at the zoo; she took the head off to go to the bathroom and some idiot stole it! My mom made the whole costume herself! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...&id=1486026434

I agree, best strip ever!

The 1980's and Bloom County were a prefect mact.

It's hard to not love Opus and Bill. Hodge Podge, Oliver and Portnoy are also favorites of mine.

So, what's in your anxiety closet?

I remember the Congressional hearings on "porn rock" when Steve changed the name of the band from "Deathtongue" to "Billy and the Boingers". Portnoy and Hodge Podge about dropped a brick. I remember one of them saying that maybe the name had some sort og vague sexual euphamism. I think it was Hodge Podge who said, "No, that would be Billy and the Diddlers." I laughed so hard.

Their first world tour was classic. It was one show- Moose Lodge banquet at a Motel 6 in Albuquerqe.

The song titles were funny, too:
I'm a boinger
U stink but I love u
Leper Messiah
Demon drooler from the sewer
Lets run over Lionel Ritchie with a tank
Pimples from Hell

I'm sure I'm missing few. There was also the time the band went caroling at Christmas.

Classic. Berk Breathed was a genius.
