Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for July 16, 2024

So when did this first come out again? I know it was before 2000? And their still blaming The media! You would think the politicians of today could at least try to come up with something new for a change!

These days it’s social media’s fault.

In the end it is really the fault of all the ignorant and gullible people who let themselves be lied to. Often willingly.

This is from 1988 according to the nomination strip from a couple of weeks ago.

Amen, brother. Amen. The media IS the affiliated scum.

Like cnn’s coverage about Trump “falling after loud noises”…..Yep, no problem there.

Best guess it came out in 1988.

And Biden says, what is this media thing people are talking about?

Broke???? I seem to recall just yesterday that endorsement from the United Cocaine Smugglers, Pushers and Affiliated Scum came with a sizable donation!

Necktie, no necktie, stripes, no stripes. ???

Being that there isn’t such a thing as an honest news organization, it is easy to lay all the blame at their feet…

Relax, Opus – you’re the Vice Presidential candidate; they won’t care too much about you.

His campaign is in disarray because he’s been paying hush money to porn starlets

If I was Berkely Breathed, I would be outraged that GoComics does not consider Bloom County to be a “political comic”.

I think it’s an incredibly insightful and foretelling political comic.

Although, from this vantage (36 years in the future) it’s hard to remember just how sharp the commentary was back then!

Still, I’m glad to still have an ability to comment here.

Over on the official “political comics” front, GoComics has decided to arbitrarily block all commentary. In case you hadn’t noticed. Today was the last day.
