Hello fellow Bloom County fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Bloom County is an American comic strip by Berkeley Breathed which originally ran from December 8, 1980, until August 6, 1989. It examined events in politics and culture through the viewpoint of a fanciful small town in Middle America, where children often have adult personalities and vocabularies and where animals can talk. On July 12, 2015, Breathed started drawing Bloom County again. The first revived strip was published via Facebook on July 13, 2015... Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_County

While we blow kisses towards towards the Bhagwan's seventy two gold Rolls Royces, should there be a name for us? Bloomies? Friends of Bill ze Cat? Boingers? Steve's Clients? Enterpoop Crew? Berke's Berkes? Help , it's important, probably.

I like that.

"Boingers" is just fun to say, so that gets my vote, but equally, this is Lemmy, so "The Enterpoop Crew" feels fitting.

I know! I'm torn, this is the most crucial choice I've had to make all weekend. It's up there with generic hazelnut spread vs. name brand.

I'm partial to Boingers myself. Did any of Opus's presidential campaigns have names?
Makes me think we should set up a sister community dedicated to Pogo.

I think it was simply "Opus 'n Limekiller" in 1981, then "Opus 'n Bill". They had a slogan, can't remember it! "For America"? "This time, why not the worst?"

That has a ring to it. It sounds classy…mysterious.....enticing.....

I like them all, but Bloomers is concise and to the point. Though I really appreciate The Dandelion Republic.
