Bloom County 2019 by Berkeley Breathed for December 14, 2016

Maybe he should put Frisbees on the ends of his crutches.

Oh, Cutter John. The Benjamin Button of Bloom County.

One cold, dark morning in the ’60’s I walked up on the manure pile. That big shape in the dark looked like a cow.

Bill found it first! (In panel 1)

wait, he can walk? I didn’t know that. I thought cutter was wheelchair bound…

Putting a compost pit so close to your house is a good way of attracting rats.

Talking ones, of course.

Putting the compost pit in front of the house seems a bad idea…

I’m loving Bill & Opus in panel 1. For the latter, this is like a voyage home.

I also did not realize Cutter had been upgraded from wheelchair to braces and canes. Glad to see it but still miss the Starship Interpoop!

Snow smells like napalm?

Nice how BB is actually fleshing out Cutter John’s character in the new Bloom County strip. He isn’t just the weird guy in a wheelchair who pretends he’s Captain Kirk (or Han Solo). Instead he’s the sensitive, sincere guy who has no more luck with women than the stuck up, cantankerous Steve Dallas. BTW, the compost pile would probably be frozen in the winter, so Cutter John’s crutches wouldn’t sink.

Looks like Bill and Opus are down there, composting.

Cutter John seems so young!

Yikes! Who would put a compost pit right by a entryway???

Could be worse, John – you could be in the chair…

Smells like the DNC . . .
