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!

Leapin’ Lenin! This explains quite a lot, actually! But I wish those dispatchers would route these things correctly!

But what about that big hand that got his dad a couple of days ago?

A commie cowboy? Andropov was Secretary General for only a little over a year, before Gorbachev. Considering his short term, he may have been as much of a nightmare for the KGB as for Reagan. The KGB made quick work of their nightmares.

Yea, but at the time, we didnt think he would be so short lived as a nightmare.

Must have scared the heck out of Ronny Raygunz, added several trillion to our national debt to fund his phony Red Scare military buildup while he gave away tax cut welfare “gifts” to his rich and greedy cronies.

At the same time the former head of the KGB was the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (i.e., leader), the former head of the CIA was vice-president of the United States.

Yes the original “Evil Empire” was at maximum over stretch and crumbling from within when Reagan “beat them.”

I don’t know about you, but to me “several” usually means between 5 to 10. (The dictionary defines it as " more than two, but less than many") with “A few” being between 3 and 5.
So how does $1.858 T (which is less than 2) equate to “several Trillion” {Even adjusted for inflation, which does not count in this instance, it would be $3.7ish Trillion, which is “a few”, but still not “several”
*
Now on the other hand, IN FOUR YEARS, Obama has added “several Trillion” in debt.

You know if I was as ignorant, misinformed, and otherwise misguided as you are, I would remain silent.

Evidently you are recent graduate of the modern education model. I do not understand this new Politically Corrected English and Math, but evidently it makes sense to you.

That may have indeed been the case, but he did beat them. He did not let them get off their knees.
Today, dope smokin little hippies, like you can enjoy a world that is not in fear of being overrun by the Communists. And Your ignorant, misinformed, myopic and asinine comments show your lack of understanding of the dangers of communism and socialism. Maybe sometime, if you get the chance, you should go to China, and ask the people how that “Freedom of Speech” and “Freedom of the Press” is coming along. Been there, did that. I know the answer.

Imagine what would pop out of the closet now? Enough to make 12/12/12 seem positive pleasant by comparison. Give the entire Liberal community a heart attach if they saw their future.

They’d still blame it on the Republicans.
