Favorite Classic *Bloom Country* Bit?

[Plaid Adder]

I miss *Bloom County.* *Outland* never did it for me and neither does *Opus.* Around what do your fondest Bloom County memories cluster?

[Whitacre D_WI]

1. I still have the flexi-disc...

...that came with the "Billy and the Boingers Bootleg" anthology.

[GOPisEvil]

3. Ha! I have mine too!

U Stink But I Luv U

[VelmaD]

6. Hey...me too!

Seperated at birth. :)

[Plaid Adder]

9. That's it!

With the tuba solo!

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

[VelmaD]

16. May not be Heavy Metal...

but it is "weighty brass". :)

[Plaid Adder]

7. Oh man! I forgot about Billy and the Boingers!

I had the disc too! What was the other song on it apart from "Cuz I'm A Boinger?"

And I remember the Sunday strip where they did the ad for "Deathtongue." That was hilarious. "Master skins-basher Hodge!"

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

8. Yep, Billy and the Boingers

and their big "hit", "Let's Run Over Lionel Richie With a Tank." Genius.

"Doesn't 'Boingers' have a vaguely sexual connotation?"

"No, that would be 'Billy and the Diddlers'".

12. Boingers T-shirt

Somewhere I have the Billy and the Boingers world tour T-Shirt

14. Opus Crokus!!!

[fudge stripe cookays]

2. Multitudinous dandelion breaks.

But if someone tried that in my garden right now, I'd kill them with my bare hands.

4. The "Prince and the Pauper" Michael Jackson & Opus bit

The sucurity guards dressed like faeries and such - solid gold!

[kmla]

5. The short marriage between Opus and Lola Granola....

...which was doomed due to nose incompatibility.

[Plaid Adder]

10. I could never get into the Opus/Lola thing.

I dunno why. And I was sad that Cutter and Bobbi went their separate ways, too. I missed Bobbi in the latter years.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

11. Lola and her two scandals...

1. The tattoo of Dan Fogelberg.
2. WHERE the tattoo is.

I can remember Opus...WHO THE %&#^ IS DAN FOGERBURP?!?!?

[kmla]

15. That always cracked me up...

Really miss that comic strip...

[tsakshaug]

13. Binkley wakng his dad

late at night with his worries.

[GOPisEvil]

17. Remember when Binkley break-danced?

His called called MTV to complain. LOL. "Well now he's &^%*)_ BROKEN!!!"

[VelmaD]

19. I liked when his Dad turned the tables...

and woke Binkley up in the middle of the night.

18. Oliver Wendall Jones

and his many experiments
The cat sweat bit was good, but there were so many

[NightTrain]

20. I voted "other."

When Oliver created a "space launch" that was actually Cutter John's wheelchair with pontoons and a dozen or so weather balloons. So John and Opus go up into the stratosphere, veer off course, crash land in the ocean, and get picked up by a Soviet submarine.

Come back, Berke Breathed! We need you now more than ever.

21. The "Mary Kay Commandos"

My wife used to be a Mary Kay Lady, and that whole animal testing story really cracked me up.
