Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for January 30, 2018

Now I finally got to see the .”Primordial Bill The Cat” in person, well. . . , in the flesh, umm. .., in print, The heck with it, in the GoComics page, there! you happy now ?

And I have my “Bill the Cat” coffee mug right here. (Actually, it’s “Bill and Opus”, but whatever.)

Hey, it’s Bill the cat! He hasn’t aged a day!

Honestly, I thought this was the strip’s shark jumping moment. What would’ve worked fine as a one- or two-strip gag just took over, and the strip’s great days were over.

Classic panel – one of my favorites! (But you left out the sound effects in panel 3: Gag! Ack! Barf! )

And the PJs were originally see-through…

I still have my stuffed Bill from the ’80s!

…and so it began.

…and so it began.

i love bill! fave strip: “billie: the musical!”

I still have my Billy and the Boingers T-shirt

Ack!

Bill the Cat is one of the not-really-human greats in the comics. And he developed so much over the years: from “ack” to “ACKK”!
