Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for April 13, 2020

It looks like he’s having this conversation with her in a jail visiting room… and her ax is standing next to the table…? Never mind the ice bag.

He had it coming, He had it coming, He only had himself to blame, If you’d’a been there, If you’d’a seen it, I betcha you would have done the same!

She’ll never be convicted!

I love this story arc. One of the absolute classics.

A clear case of suicide.

They skipped the strip from the day before, which helps to set the scene: https://www.gocomics.com/bloomcounty/1984/05/28

Steve does this stuff all the time and can’t see any motive.

This is really funny!

She looks like the librarian from Binkley’s anxiety closet who hovered over him with an axe saying his books were “966 days overdue, dear!” (or something similar).

Reminds me of the Christopher Titus bit about his crazy mother killing her husband over T-Day dinner problem.

Spouses have been murdered for less.

Sreve-o with an ice bag and Mrs. Whacker with her trusty axe by her side.

Could anything possibly go wrong? Are you sure it’s wrong?!
