Bloom County 2019 by Berkeley Breathed for December 21, 2016

One Basselope coming up…

One word comes to mind…

“ACK!”

In the earliest “Bloom County” strips, there was a dog named Rabies who was a holdover from “Academia Waltz.” Are we about to see his return?

Bill looks cold.

Add another $2100, do your own shopping, and you’ll get what you want. Don’t trust Steve.

maybe Snoopy will appear. I hear he lost his paying gig recently

Rosebud :)

A reminder that there are those who need our support, not just now, but always.And a reminder that there are those, like Steve, who will pawn the job off on others.God bless, Sam!

Go to your local rescue, Humane Society, etc…. dont buy, save.

Don’t sell Steve short just yet. Remember the Star Wars bed-pan helmet routine last time Sam suffered this procedure. Steve may seem rotten on the outside, but he has an inner core that expands.

I hear that the X-15 Cruise Basselope will only run you $6.95. Could easily be modified to deliver a non-lethal payload.

If you want the BIGGEST dog, skip over Marmaduke and go right to Clifford—but I’m not sure that he was ever “silky”…..

Let’s not forget that Opus himself was supposed to be a German Shepherd:

By the way, that is the strip that is due to be re-run TOMORROW Thursday in the regular Bloom County page:

(Yes, I’m aware that that link is pointing to a non-existing page… but not for long!)

keep the change, Sith Lord, and build a new Starkiller Base.

This is SO not going to end well for Steve.

Hah! You ordinary folks have snowmen. We here have a snowBill! Put that in your pipe and suck on it ‘til you’re high!

As for Steve, I won’t be too hasty in condemning him for $426. He has genuine feelings (though he may not recognize them clearly) for Sam the Lion, and may end up doing The Right Thing!

Don’t let us down Steve. We need something good this Christmas.

Wouldn’t Bill be perfect…after they thaw him out of course.

What happens to Sam and his Mom when Obamacare is repealed?

I agree with Sperry23. Nothing good will come of this.

For Steve’s sake I hope he gets the Christmas Spirit, or else.

Remember That these are posted here about a week behind. To get caught up to today, Christmas Day, go to www.facebook.com/berkeleybreathed/. Enjoy!

I know Steve’s a jerk… but stealing $400 from Sam’s mom?? Money that she specifically earmarked for Sam? That’s…wow. That goes beyond jerk & straight into heartless, disgusting asshole.
