Bloom County 2019 by Berkeley Breathed for June 03, 2017

I sincerely hope that tomorrow we will see pictures of The Rump all over this comic, none of which are flattering.

Of course, I’m kidding; how can a picture of Dumb Donald be flattering?

Great gag, Berkeley! And I still have my original stuffed Opus, and it STILL has the original tag on it! But no, Melanoma CAN’T have it!

P.S. I have an original Bill the Cat, too!

“No more Trumps in Bloom county”? If only it were so easy elsewhere.

I don’t respect anyone who has deep respect.

After Kathy Griffin, letters from Trump’s lawyers are more likely.

I can guarantee you Melania no longer cuddles with President Pudgie. If he had a stroke and keeled over tomorrow, she’d be dancing all over Trump Tower like Hugh Grant in “Love Actually” . . . provided his will is in order, of course.

“No more Trumps in Bloom County?” Trump, you may recall, is a word for flatulence in England. I expect Bill will be trumping all over the place!

There, this apology should set things straight. Let this be a lesson to everyone not to poke fun of the blotus.

Let’s make a deal, we will stop making fun of Trump as soon as he resigns.

Nice stationery, Berk. What do I have to do to get a letter from you?

Interesting to see this right on the heels of the Griffin episode, when these comics are made up to 6 weeks in advance.Ps, I am a semi-strong Trump supporter, I don’t want to get into dumb back and forth name calling that happens with people over dif in opinions, but I’m tired to being made to feel embarrassed for voting for and supporting (most) of what he does. So I just want to state it, and let everyone know, there are real people who did vote for him. Infact, there are a LOT of people who voted for, and like him (mostly, or somewhat enough) so the myth of “electoral vote against the majority” is dispelled. Most of us, who are not loud mouthed braggarts (both sides included) feel shouted down by the liberal loud-mouthers and don’t see a point to defending Trump when it wont do any good with them. So we say nothing, and they think we don’t exist. That’s all. But I will be glad if BB means what he says about not making jokes about him anymore.

Cute reference to Esther Newberg, a legendary literary agent. Her nickname is “lobster.”

I’ve been sad to see BC go the direction it has. I’ve very enjoyed BC for decades but I am also pretty conservative. I own most of the books and enjoy them. My fond hope would be that the Opus et al could just go back to humorous entertainment.

Yes; we know you hate the truth.

Has anyone complaining considered just WHY there is this level of satire, and total HATE for Drumpf spreading around these days? Have you actually considered the FACT that he is the most incompetent, crooked, traitorous, odious, inept, and utterly corrupt excuse for a “president” that the country has EVER had to endure??

El Segundo seems to have a thin grasp of the purpose of satire.

May the Lord protect and keep our country. A soft answer turns away wrath. Lets not cut off any heads, there more than enough people and country’s that do that.

Only under Donald Trump can one be sued for exercising your rights of freedom of speech.

good writing tip of the day: remember, for “extra” “emphasis” use “lots” of “quotation” “marks”…

I have followed Mr. Breathed since his work has been published. He if funny and relevant and I respect him enormously. It is the small, small person who cannot be criticized and has to threaten punitive action. The man-baby in the White House better get use to the kind of treatment he will receive from people who don’t work for him and worship the ground he walks on.

Li’l Trumpee is too incompetent to know the law.

Satire and parody are important forms of political commentary that rely on blurring the line between truth and outrageousness to attack, scorn and ridicule public figures. Although they may be offensive and intentionally injurious, these statements contain constitutionally protected ideas and opinions, provided a reasonable reader would not mistake the statements as describing actual facts. Put another way, subjects of even the most biting satire or criticism cannot successfully sue unless the irreverent comments contain a provably false fact. Moreover, public officials and figures must prove that the defendant published the statement with actual malice.

If only we all could get Opus plushies just by writing letters to BB!

No more making fun of Trump? NNNNOOOOOO………….Aw come on, he’s such an easy target.

PPC has been shown to cause increases in locomotor activity in lab mice. Perhaps it’s a suggestion.
