Bloom County 2019 by Berkeley Breathed for January 11, 2020

Can Steve feel and see the fourth wall?

I didn’t say anything! Oh wait, I just did. Never mind.

The most lively, satisfying discussions I have are with myself.

Oh, Berke, thank you for bringing some sunshine into my dreary, dreary day.

Still living in the past, there, Berkeley? Will you be updating to BCo. 2020?

Yo, Steve-o! Bite me!

Actually Steve, you can see that being when you look at the stars. It’s just that your limitations both in your perception and mind prevents you from recognizing it as such.

And what is air made of? Atoms and molecules, just like the rest of creation.

And atoms and molecules are merely expressions of Universal energy.

And how do you get something from nothing? The self created is a non-starter.

I dunno ’bout that; Yapping away to the air paid well in the radio days…

Lack of evidence is not evidence of lack.

Internal dialogue is sometimes all a person has…

I’ve been reading repeats of the original Bloom County and they’re up to Steve Dallas’ being in a Tess Turbo music video. Given their mutual distaste, it might be funny if she showed up with their child here.

Vacation’s over Berke… Or is it that you have been smited?

isn’t it time Steve ran for President? he could beat Trump

Is this it? Did Berkeley Breathed die? Another accident? Retire? Vacation?

I can’t find anything in the news…

Any idea when the next strip is?

Where is Berkeley Breathed? MIA. Was this cartoon disparaging to Trump?

so at this point this is just a hobby for berk?

Dues anyone know when there next strip is due out?

So…this was published the 11th and it’s now the 27th. Just a question GoComics, why are there so many problems with getting this published here regularly…and no problems for other comics?

Now you have to subscribe to Bloom County 2020!

Coming up on 3 weeks now. Hope a new strip is coming soon.

I am 14 days from hitting ‘unfollow.’ 2 weeks vacation is all I get!

Oh Berkeley, where art thou?

Is there any truth to the rumor that Berkeley Breathed is currently in Mexico for a sex-change procedure?

Ah, Berke must have dissed Hillary. Committed suicide by shooting himself in the back.

@ BerkeleyBreathed certainly has our attention!

and then Bloom County was never updated again.

Berkeley Breathed, @BerkeleyBreathed has now qualified as an ‘unseen being.’

Well, I wonder how many more weeks this strip is going to be here…

I’m just here to have the last word.

Something that marriage denies me.

From 4 days ago on his facebook page. “Berkeley Breathed’s Bloom County Thanks, Edmund Gibson. All is well! Just taking a bit of a break from social media and new strips. -bb…”quite a break!

zzzzzzzz time to take this multi-week snoozer off my “watch” list…

From BB FB PageBerkeley Breathed’s Bloom County16 hrs · “Hiya Bloomers, all is well in Bloom County. Just taking a bit of a Dandelion Break from social media and new strips right now. Meanwhile, I’ll just leave this right here. It was originally published July 26, 1981. —bb”

you should post something new soon, as we are beginning to forget about your irrelevancy

It may be St. Patrick’s Day before they wrap up this Scrooge sequence

Might get a full month on this one strip.

Today marks the one-Month Anniversary of this comic, and Berkley’s Facial-Book page has nary a new comic in place. I hope that everyone is alright….

One month and no new strip. Is Berkeley OK?

He’s taking a dandilion break. Let him. It’s his choice. Just wish him well and be happy he’s ok. :)

anyone know if Berk actually died? it’s been a month now.

What happened to Berkley ? Has not been a new comic since the 11th of January.

Abraham Lincoln would NOT approve!

Is Breathed still breathing?

I haven’t seen a new one since the 11th of January. This isn’t over is is ???

Perhaps this is Berke’s way of saying, “Goodbye, and thanks for all the fish!”

This strip is dated Jan. 11. It’s now Feb 16. What’s going on?

nothing new since January 11? What the what.

Come on BB, isn’t all this politics of late inspire you in any way?

Posted on FB from Berke. https://www.facebook.com/berkeleybreathed/photos/a.114529165244512/3071591302871602/?type=3&theater

NEW STRIP PLEASE!!

He is taking a break Let him. He ain’t no one’s monkey. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3098071430223589&id=108793262484769

Can’t wait for the arrival of Bloom County 2029.

ya know, ever since the impeachment failure, there haven’t been any new Bloom County strips. :(

so this is how it ends????

Do you think bloom county is done posting?

Anyone else starting to think he’s retiring again?

He said he’s taking a break, according to his Facebook page. Hope it’s not burnout.

Nothing since January 11th. Where did you go?

What a crowd of whining suckholes here. The guy wants a break…just like you all want in your tiny lives.

Is it over? Is the strip over?

I guess this one is done, too.

So this comic is essentially dead. To be topical, it has to be at least weekly.

Seriously, is Berke okay? Has anyone seen him? It’s been awhile since his last strip!

so last year

Keep tuning in – but no joy. Stuck on 11 Jan 20.

When do we get a new one, please? Thanks.

He’s too damn lazy to upload new strips. He wants everyone to visit his facebook page, not caring that many readers from the 80’s have no intention of ever getting on that site

2 months, same panel. Go Comics forgot to pay Berkley?

Is this updating on Facebook or elsewhere, cause nuttin’s happening here.

Some of you people are unbelievable. Earlier comments say the man wants to take a break, and he gets invective and insults (like “He’s too damn lazy to upload new strips.”).

Jesus. If I got treated like that just for wanting to take a break, I’d say screw you all. What do you think he is, your personal slave? You live in the Old South or something?

He’ll get back to it when he wants to get back to it. If he doesn’t, then he doesn’t. Deal with it, homeslices. Grow up.

Taking a break, quitting, or whatever….Failure to communicate is not the fault of the receiver

Can someone go to Berkeley’s house for a well fare check? No sign of life for 2 months!

WHER ARE YOU!!!

Oh my Lord, HE’S FINE! HE’S TAKING A BREAK! Doesn’t anybody read the previous comments???

Mr Breathed may be “Fine”, but the reason fans of his from the ’80’s are nervous is that he has done this to us twice already before. We are gun-shy…..

Strip dated January 11. When will it be updated? Has it been discontinued?

Ummmm…have we seen the last of Bloom County? The cartoon hasn’t changed for two months!

I assume Mr.Breathed has passed, where do I send condolences?

So I guess bloom county 2015 is officially over?

where’d you go?

no more new strips?

Haven’t seen an update in over two months. Has Breathed retired again?

When will we see a new strip?

When will we see new strips?

See, it’s a shame he’s taking a break, because I’d love to see his take on the Coronavirus panic.

Where have you gone Berkeley….our nation turns its lonely eyes to you

Every day I look to see if there’s a new Bloom County! It’s been quite some time since we’ve seen any activity in Bloom County. Is this the end?

Sad to say, I am going to drop this strip for lack of activity.

I’ll keep coming back. Why not?

Has Breathed given up on this strip? I was enjoying it.

Has Berkeley checked out again?

More?

Lots of current event strips and paintings over at Berek’s Facebook page.

so where is it, you said 10 days ago on facebook supossedly takes a week from there

where is it

Bloom County still on Lock down.

Breathed is an ESSENTIAL LIFE-SUSTAINING SERVICE, damnitall! Let him post his work!

I quit Facebook on January 1st. Figures.

BB, I wonder, we can’t feel or see the unseen Covid19 until it smacks us in the lungs. How prescient were you? jal

Happy 3rd (month) anniversary to this particular Bloom County strip.
