Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for December 21, 2023

Many of the ‘tomatoes’ who appeared in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue in the ’80s are successful business women today (e.g. Kathy Ireland, Christie Brinkley, Elle McPherson).

I doubt you could get away with calling a woman a ‘tomato’ today.

Not without finding yourself sliced, diced, and splattered, no…

Sadly, many people seem to choose to live in a world of delusion.

Ice tea shampoo……..I LOVE IT

It could have been worse, I picture Opus getting a back rub from Totie Fields!

I hear the CEO of Sports Illustrated was fired. Turns out articles and authors of same were AI illusions and didn’t exist!!

I just can’t help the feeling, I’m living a life of illusion.- Joe Walsh

that is one sweet delusion

That’s what I’m talking about Opus… but how about a little Phyllis Diller thrown in?

Is “iced tea shampoo” a real thing?

This was before they started using trans models. Now days, SI kills more wood than the timber industry!

Martha Ray’s mouth was so big she could put the bottom part of a telephone receiver in her mouth. Saw that on some tv show in the fifties. Now I’m watching old Alice shows and Martha has a part. She is the same zaney character she was back in the day.

Opus is getting better! Or anyway, he’s getting better hallucinations! An SI swimsuit tomato is much to be preferred to a crusty old guy. You can deal with the transformation into Martha Raye later, if and when it occurs….
