Yay! Bloom County is on!
Starting from the first strip, December 8 + 9, 1980



Probably will post two a day for the foreseeable future.

Edit: I double-checked and I think I have a physical copy of all of the strips in case Gocomics is missing any.

I forgot that one of the main characters for like the first year was the old dude who disappeared super quickly once Opus came around

Yeah, I think it was Breathed's self-insert, and then that slowly turned into a combination of a couple other characters (mainly Milo if I remember right)

Thank you for this.
I only read a bit of Outland as a kid but a couple of years ago I bought a digital bundle with pretty much everything from BB up til the end of Opus. It's since become some of my favourite strips.

Was one of my favorites growing up and I'm having fun re-reading it as I post. It'll be interesting when we get into some of the later stuff. :allears:

I think it's that Bloom County doesn't have any Sunday strips until May 10th, 1981.

I think it might just be that there's not always a Sunday strip. We had one on the 14th

I double-checked and Darthemed is correct! We don't have Sunday strips until May 10, 1981. Plus, the first one is the one that I posted earlier, so it'll be a re-post but in color.

Thanks for posting these. Bloom County in the mid-late '80s was such a distinctive and interesting thing, so it's very fascinating to see what it looked like before it had really figured out what it was. It's interesting and off-beat, but it hasn't yet figured out how to be something other than a Doonesbury clone (as seen below).



Yeah, it definitely starts to come into its own slightly later on. I think once we get Opus introduced is where Breathed starts to hit his stride.
