Bloom County

[Wompet]

One of the sites I visit daily has the old "Bloom County" comic strip. The strip posted today had Berke Breathed's impression of Prince Charles in a kilt (this is humor, folks - not to be taken seriously):

Love the old bloom county comic strips. Use to have all the books and even a collection of the stuffed penguins. My wife and I even named our dog Opus.

Cute strip but it does bring a tinge of sadness, knowing what lay ahead.

For many years Bloom County was an eagerly awaited stop in my morning paper. Who can forget when Steve Dallas broke his back? (and the hiatus when Berkeley broke his)

I miss Bloom County. The new strip just isn't the same.

HRH has always struck me as a decent bloke - I've met people who knew him in the Navy. Whereas I was never a fan of St Diana Queen of Hearts etc. I haven't seen this cartoonists work before but he obviously picked up on something.

Oh my gosh, I grew up reading the Bloom County comics... I like Bill the cat, and I had a little Opus doll.
Guess that's not exactly the subject though.

Thanks for posting that one Gary, I too was a big fan of Bloom County and do miss it.
