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

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Bloom County!

Bloom County: The Complete Library, in hardcover volumes. IDW Publishing, started releasing them around 2010. Annotations by Breathed! Beautiful covers and it even has a ribbon bookmark, so classy. I get them second hand tho, Better World Books offers a few. EDIT: better WORLD books

I know, I was lost in palookaville, too, and then I found the way to spend my disposable income of $50 and visit Bloom County whenever I want. Every single strip, reprinted on good heavy paper. Dew it. Don't support AMZN, tho. Lots of second hand places. AMZN quietly purchased Alibris, by the way. THAT place is for suckas. ;)
