Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for June 18, 2021

Oooooh! Since the kids in Bloom County (Milo, Binkley, Oliver Wendell Jones…) are supposed to be 9 to 10 years old, and the strip is from 1985, that means that OWJ’s sentence should be over right about now!

Did someone say pudding?

Is a grounding ’til 45-years-old enough?!

Jello?
