Bloom County 2019 by Berkeley Breathed for August 18, 2016

Is that Hans or Franz?

I guess he took the bed frame because he didn’t want to touch the politician’s limp noodle.

Those who read the comics very early like I do may have missed yesterday’s strip, as it was published later in the day.  Without it today’s strip makes little sense.

Let’s see: “a terrified, gutless, limp noodle … with principles the firmness of warm lard …”. He must mean a Democrat. Or a Republican.

Of course he’s a ping-pong champ. Who’s going to tell him he isn’t?

I miss women’s breasts at these olympics

Only ONE?

Ping Pong: only one of many non-olympic level sports getting air time.

If he loses to China (what, the whole country or just a player from there?!!!!), he can pick the table up and break it over his knee. Then break his opponent over the other knee…….

Ah loves me some pinggity-pong, but ah prefers da badminton. Fly, little birdie!

My husband and I were wondering the other day how ping pong can be an Olympic sport, and disc golf isn’t.

Hate to be on the other side of Yegor’s opening Ping-Pong serve.

He’ll probably mutter—a la Drago from “Rocky IV”—“I must break you,” and smashes the ball through the table and the floor, making a giant crater.

Anyone who questions the validity of table tennis – or badminton – as Olympic sports has never played them at a high level. Probably never watched them either. Both are extremely fast-paced, requiring lightning reflexes, superior agility, superb balance, incredible hand-eye coordination, and stamina.

Finally an Olympics joke. I remember back in 2004 or 2008 when one of the shooting athletes was busted for using performance enhancing drugs. Since when do you need to pump up to shoot a pistol (or hit a ping pong ball for that matter)? Anyway, I don’t see too many Yegors who are ping ping champs. You see a lot more Kenseis or Liu Chos.

Yet another junkie Russian who should have been booted from the Olympics. One of the best moments this Olympics was when U.S. swimmer Lilly King called out her Russian opponent for using drugs, and then King beat her anyway.
