Bloom County, a 1980s cartoon-comic strip that dealt with socio-political issues as seen through the eyes of highly exaggerated characters (e.g. Bill the Cat and Opus the Penguin) and humorous analogies.
Creator Berkeley Breathed's first regularly published strip, Academia Waltz, appeared in the Daily Texan in 1978. The strip attracted notice from the editors of the Washington Post who recruited him to do a nationally syndicated strip. On December 8, 1980, Bloom County made its debut and featured some of the characters from Academia Waltz, including former frat-boy Steve Dallas and the paraplegic Vietnam War veteran Cutter John.
Bloom County earned Berkeley the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning in 1987. The strip eventually appeared in over 1,200 newspapers around the world until he retired the daily strip in 1989, stating, "A good comic strip is no more eternal than a ripe melon. The ugly truth is that in most cases, comics age less gracefully than their creators". The comic continues in recirculation on GoComics!

Wow. Mandy. Wow.

I don’t know how Manilow felt after recording Mandy, but after listening to it, I felt like I had taken a big dose of ipecac.

Interesting comparison, indeed, fellow head bangers.

What’s a “record”? :-)

Something that lasts longer than a CD.

Wasn’t “Demon Drooler in the Sewer” the “B” side of Mandy?

A “record” is a flat kind of tape…thingy…

“flat kind of tape…thingy”. Whoa, ease up on the technical jargon…your losing me.

“She came and she gave without taking,
And then she sent me away,
Oh, Man——er, Demon Drooler in the Sewer!”
The words were easy to remember, sorta.

Actually listening to Manilow is an Emetic so no Ipecap is needed! (Just a BIG bucket!)

I have a vinyl record of a band called Drunken Penguin, still. And many more of more popular bands.
