Bloom County 2019 by Berkeley Breathed for August 04, 2017

Excellent! Thanks Berkeley.

Excellent. The janitor who helped Opus on Father’s Day. This guy is better than penicillin.

Jedi Sam’s hero has arrived!!

And as anyone who works in a hospital knows, the cleaners, porters and so on are most definitely unsung heroes.

The janitor to the rescue once again!! I am really liking this man!! Mr B., you have to give this man a name now….please?

I copied the image, and put it into Preview on my Mac, and upped the exposure. The details are wonderful. Almost as wonderful as the sentiment.

Look not to the powerful on this earth for comfort, but to the humble.

Those of us who have put in our time as night janitors in hospitals thank you . . .

Thank you.

Give that guy a raise!

Is that Opus peeping in the window?

I saw this originally on FB, but THIS time I noticed Opus in the window as well. Sam the Lion is in good hands…and wings…

Way to go, Frank!!

What a wonderful piece of artwork! And what a wonderful heart, Berkley! We know an angel when we see one, don’t we?

It is a spectacular toon…thanks Frank.

Thank You. It is the little acts of quiet love and kindness that help me retain some kind of love and hope for mankind.

Whew. Thank you. My heart has been hurting for Sam the Lion all week! Glad to see he’s been in good hands all along!

The total thread of Sam and Zulu is the most poignant comic ever. Keep it up Mr. B!

That’s what my dad did when I was a baby. Even in freezing winters …

Looks like Frank has settled in for the long haul.

Aaaaawwww….

Art and storytelling at its highest form. The original should be displayed in the Smithsonian.

A GREAT arc!

Damn, it sure got dusty in here all of a sudden…

Masterful!

This is for those that care.

Wow!!!!

It may look like Opus was unable to complete his mission, but…

Frank doesn’t work at the hospital. Frank works at a different urgent care firm.

The hospital doesn’t allow animals. Sam needed urgent care. And Opus knew where to get it.

This image touched my heart in so many ways. Sometimes words would detract more and than add. A beautiful piece of art.

Very powerful piece. Brings tears to my eyes. Bravo.

How can I buy a full color clear copy?

That is quite possibly the most powerful thing I have EVER seen in a comic strip! Thank you, Berkeley!

Walt Kelly is smiling on you, Mr. Breathed.

Brilliant piece of artwork.

Norman Rockwellesque..

Sing along with Sherlock: “What the world needs now is love, sweet love…”

Thanks. A heart-moving masterpiece, much needed in these narcisistic self-referring times.

Simply beautiful. Superb artwork full of heart.

Wow, it warmed my heart!!!

I knew that Frank would come to the rescue!

My tears make it hard for me to see the image clearly with my eyes, but easy to see it with my heart.

And the Dragoncat Award for Best Picture goes to Berkeley Breathed! Fantabulously done!

I may be a Marvel fan, but this fellow is a true hero. With Honourable Mention going to Opus and Friends.

An excellent piece of art and a very touching, poignant sentiment that it expresses!

Frank is providing care and company for Sam the Lion, at possible risk of his job (for interrupting rather than completing his rounds). Opus sees this.

And I see it better by having goosed up the Zoom on my iMac by 2 notches. At that point with most images I am starting to see pixellation, but BB’s masterpiece here is reallly high resolution and seems just as sharp magnified as at Actual Size (as my menu calls it). More details can be discerned, such as the way Sam the Lion clutches Frank’s right pinky finger….

Very moving , I can’t find other words

Way to go Frank.

God bless all janitors, everywhere.

How can I get a nice copy (suitable for framing)? Night maintenance at Penbay Medical Center, Rockport Maine

One of Mr. B’s best panels. Ever.

Beautiful! Thank you.

There is a comic that has an ending each day! The art is so good on this it could go on forever!

Incredible. Thanks.

Darned Onion Fairy!

Go back to yesterday and look at what BB did to decorate the title in the top frame. The two days of strips should be posted in every hospital with the words “Let’s give them whatever they need”.

Awesome art! Thank you, Berkeley.

Wow, this is so amazing!!! :D

Late to the party, but for those of you who remember, there is a touch of Norman Rockwell here. The conveyance of so many thoughts and emotions with an artistic image. The thoughtfulness, selflessness and heroism from the night janitor just plain doing the right thing. THAT is what will “Make America Great Again”.

Brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful
