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.

  1. This community is for Bloom County ands associated media from 1980-1989, the life of the original strip.

  2. As this is a relive the media as it was released community, do not post strips that were released after the date of the most recent strip posted (the day's date in 1982 for 2025, 1983 in 2026 etc).

  3. Additional media posted should be limited to 3 items per day as to not spam. If you have more items to post beyond that add it to your post rather than making additional posts.

Bloomers... in case you're wondering why things are slightly different than 1982: the last several years were spent developing Bloom County into a prime time show for FOX, retitled and slightly recast. As the name suggests, it focused on our two heroes, supported by a transmogrified version of Steve's mom, as well some familiar supporting faces. The pilot was headed to production until it was cancelled shortly after the election, without comment. Much more to share from the above efforts to come. Back to the story next week...

I will be posting Outland strip (the successor to Bloom County) starting tomorrow, on its 37th anniversary. Outland is a Sunday only strip.
