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!

So how come enslaving plants isn’t bad? Life is life. (of course in Switzerland, you’re not allowed to enslave plants either as I understand it…)
“If we aren’t supposed to eat animals, how come they’re made of meat? And how come they’re so delicious!” :P

And what about the plants that have to be killed to eat them?
Apples, peaches no, lettuce, carrots yes.

So let it be written. So let it be done.

Milk and eggs too? Sorry Binkley, but I can’t feel guilty when I drink a glass of milk.

Sadly, Vegans and Vegetarians are what happens when evolution works in reverse.

Does that embargo apply to all of the boarding house’s inhabitants? I know a penguin who may become very upset at the idea of no longer having the right to enjoy his brethren, the herring.

People are delicious, why don’t we eat them. And they are useless at best, and disgusting in my opinion.

If cows have moral purity, why are they always telling us to “eat chikin”?

@Vonne Anton
Those are the cows that have sold out. ;)

So I can understand someone deciding against eating meat for moral issues, but I’m a littler perplexed by vegans who refuse to use honey because it enslaves bees. From what I understand of bee keeping, it’s more of a symbiotic relationship. Also, wouldn’t that mean we should stop breeding animals like cows, dogs, cats, etc. since they’re domesticated animals and as such could never truly be free of humans?

If were not supposed to eat meat why do the lion and tigers and bears all eat meat?

Blue, what about the second hand smoke that bees inhale?
