Saw this on FaceBook, and not sure where this may lead.
I'd love for him to return to BC. A truly brilliant strip.
I think the lure of the Donald running for president was too strong for him to resist....so many cartoons so little time! :D
He did some great parodies of Trump in the 80s. The time is perfect for a return!
The brain transplant to Bill the Cat was awesome.
He's up there with Watterson in my book. No one can touch Calvin and Hobbes, but Milo Bloom was special in a totally different way.
Would love to see an update on Tess Turbo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL5spALs-eA
Milo Bloom holds a special place in my heart. And BC predated C&H, so props to Berk Breathed.
Best news ever, me thinks. :smitten:
Just wait until Herman declares FCRS a success :P

^WOOHOO!
QuoteIn response to a reader who noted that Mr. Trump was also making his return to the political stage, Mr. Breathed wrote, "This creator can't precisely deny that the chap you mention had nothing to do with it."

Truly happy to see this back.
I really hope he hangs strong because some of the stuff he did in the 80s was pretty brutal. This day and age isn't as tolerant as it was (funny how society says tolerance is such an important thing and yet...). Hopefully he sticks to his guns and brutalizes many. O0

+1 Having Bloom County back is one of the best things to happen in a very long time. I hope he raises a little hell with this election cycle.
Not to mention Senator Bedfellow and the Imperialistic War Monkeys.
(Sounds like a Kickstarter design.)

I'm feeling better already.
So, is he just publishing these on his FB page? I saw 'em there. Is he not doing these in newspaper? Gawd, it's been years since I've cracked a newspaper to read the comics. 8)
More better if he does throw them out there free-range style.
AFAIK, he's only doing them through his FB page. I think he wants to avoid the schedule and deadlines that would come with a syndication deal.
I think this is my favorite so far

I dig this stuff, but I hope he takes on targets more controversial than Trump eventually. Trump's kind of an easy target, though I recall him raking Trump over the coals back in the day too. ;D
He has long lampooned Trump, so it's a natural re-entry point for him. I agree though, I also hope he moves into new territory. 2015 is a target-rich environment.
This entire thread is full of win. 8)
Any chance someone will continue to post the new ones as they come out? I don't do Facebook and it seems a shame to miss them.

You don't have to be logged into FB to see them. I've been checking his page every couple days:
https://www.facebook.com/berkeleybreathed (https://www.facebook.com/berkeleybreathed)
They still going to be able to put all that Facebook tracking sh*t on my computer?
Clear your cookies. You'll be fine. NSA will know that you read Bloom County, but at least you won't be on the Aquaman-Aveeno watch list.
Awesome news! Thanks, mirth!
Go forth and enjoy politically subversive comics, my son.
This may be the best one yet of the new crop

Bill got fixed!!
The last panel's moons are a nice homage.
^Good catch
Tatooine had twin suns, not moons. Those are clearly setting suns <sheesh>
:P

I'm trying to find the strip (I think Breathed did two of them) where they 'interrupt' the comic broadcast/hijack it, calling it "Commando Video" I think. For the life of me, I can't find it anywhere, which is odd. Anyone know where it could be found online?
