out of the mouth of penguin comes the unvarnished truth …

He’s a penguin??

I have worked for banks three times in my life. All those experiences have taught me one thing: I HATE banks.

… the Hyena’s note on socialism ( a perfect boogyman for the ill informed).

BUSH PROTECTED US FROM BOTH ANOTHER ATTACK FROM THE OFF SHORE BOOGEYMAN, AND THE “SOCIALISM” BOOGEYMAN. WAIT, DID THE WALLSTREET MESS HAPPEN BEFORE 1/20/2009, AND THE TWO WARS “HAPPEN” BEFORE 1/20/2009? HMMM?

Your trivia question for today:

What is the Oliphant penguin’s name?

( Yes, he has a name. )

Sooky Rottweiler says;

On top of that, the rottie wishes he had three set of teeth to bite them all.

I believe he’s a duck not a penguin. But according to wikipedia I’m wrong.

Yah, I remember long, long ago there was a urination contest between Ollie & Berked Breathed (because ‘Bloom County’ had been awarded a Pulitzer?) which by extension drew their penguin mascots into it.

The penguin’s (and it is a penguin) name is Punk. He showed up in Bloom County during the “character strike,” and Punk was hoping to take Opus’ place and have stuffed animals made of him.

Sooky Rottweiler says (wagging tail);

Herbabee, long time no see!

Trivia answer - the corner character (penquin) is named “Punk”
