The introduction of Bill the Cat. Besides Opus, no other character would be as synonymous with Bloom County and Outland as ol’ Bill. And no, he doesn’t start looking better in later strips; quite the opposite, really.
William T. Cat. Meadowcrat Presidential Canidate for 1984, 1988, 1992, and 2012, infamous TV evangelist, Rajneesh cultist, Bloom County mayor, lead electric tongue-player for Billy and the Boingers, Garfield rip off, second most famous pet of Mike Binkley, and co-star of Bloom County, Outland, and Opus for 25 years. Unlike Opus, his introduction portrays him much the same as in later strips.

I had a few of those T-Shirts.
My favorite was the “Outland Men’s Couch Club” shirt a friend bought me.

I still have my Bill the Cat Flammable Pajamas. Probably worth a lot on eBay as few have survived.
