Agreed, though it only takes a few days and we’ll get Milo, who quickly brings in the narrative that is Bloom County.

Love the promotional countdown! It seems like it brought the Boingers and the Raucous Caucus out!

It’s curious to wonder how the characters we all grow fond of in later strips began to get their start. Not that is is Bill at all but knowing how the comics developed I can’t help but want to binge them all now! But I wait, like I did when I was a boy.

littlebluespark, in Posted on social media, approx. 2021. If anyone can remember the date, I'll update. I love the splashes of color, I think the recent digital drawing pad work is some of his best.

Don’t apologize. Did Michelangelo apologize for a smear on the Sistine Chapel? Heylll no

math works out

log(10) = 1

derivative of 10,000 (no variable) = 0

anything to the power of 0 is 1

1 x 10^0^ = 1

feels like an early idea concept approved a few drafts too soon, and before he found the punchline

Yeah some are pretty rough at the start. We’re only a few days in at this point.

My cats would eat horse tonsils delight. Yesterday I had to stop one of my cats from eating her own vomit. And she’s the smarter one of my two.

nocturne213,

I have a bag of beef lung treats for my dogs and my son’s cat ate through the bag to get some for himself.

Um… okay. I guess he was still finding his style at this point.

Rick’s Pet Shop in Frederick Maryland has a life sized Bill the Cat plush that I always wanted and offered to buy from Rick.

This one?.. You can find 'em in good condition on eBay for $60-80. https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/ac71e5f0-ea09-47df-bab8-db64c900ca50.jpeg

That’s awesome!

Back when I lived in Maryland and looking at them after seeing Rick’s, they were going for over $200 and were few and far between. I went as far as to write a letter to Berkeley and ask if he might still have one for sale. ACK! I am excited.

Milo is just starting to develop his dark side, which will help him become a journalist in a few months.

We all know someone like that. I live next door to a Major relative, but I’m making peace with her. It’s hard work. Happy New Year’s eve. I can’t wait for Steve Dallas to show up.
