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!

Okay…Mr. T, some relative of Binkley’s Great Purple Snorkelwhacker, and a plumper in a horned helmet…where are the man-eating bananas? The 9-foot cucumber was quite placid, last time I checked.

I didn’t know “Tequila Fanny Bangers” were an actual thing, but apparently so.
Tequila Fanny Banger
1 shot tequila
1 shot vodka
1 shot Midori
1 dash triple sec
1 dash freshly squeezed lime juice
Put all of the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well. Strain into a cocktail glass to serve.

My drink of choice is tequila and orange juice. I can drink them all weekend and still remember most of what happend. The only hallucination I ever got was a girl in a purple dress and a sparkling gold wig.

make a batch, ‘cause after the first one you won’t remember the recipe.

being a child of the sixties i have no fear of the occasional hallucination. just smile and wave ’em on through. my third shift used to work at “heaven hill” vodka. can you imagine, “heaven hill”? utterly vile!

You know it been a bit too much when your halucinations stage an intervention !

I can think of two different interpretations of ‘fanny banger’ depending on whether the inventor was American or an Aussie or Pom.

I guess we should be pleased to see that Steve Dallas, against all medical odds, is still alive after 37 Fanny Bangers at one party.

Darn, I bet myself the usual beer that Bill the cat ate the strip again. No beer for me today and no hallucinations.
