Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for October 06, 2022

I like the mouse ears, but I prefer the Goofy hat.

And I thought I had trouble with english.

An anagram of “staff cartoonist” is “sort-of fantastic.”

That’s fine until the IRS wants to know why they pay for a staff stripper.

If we had had a staff stripper, I wouldn’t have retired.

So, Opus is a “comic stripper”. We always knew that.

Long ago, I knew someone who worked as a “stripper” for a newspaper, but that was the description of a very different sort of job from what either these comic characters or commenters are suggesting.

Anthropomorphic Artist

One of my favorite punch lines ever

On the whole, Opus is not the stripper I’d prefer to see.

Here, they’re called Creators. I still say cartoonists. Whatever….

I think Berk was feeling underappreciated back then.
