When the book (titled “Billy and the Boingers Bootleg”) came out it included a two-sided “single” that could be played on a record player. It wasn’t a true vinyl record thought. It was a paper-thin sheet of plastic with song cut into each side. The songs were “I’m a Boinger” and “U Stink But I Love You.” So you could indeed hear the music of DeathToungue!
‘Course, by missing all the daily comics, we’re missing the whole story line of why the name gets changed…
It may have come up already and I’ve missed it, but does anyone know why we’re only getting the Sundays?
Looks Mr. Breathed had a little fun with his alma mater. His “secret devil sign” looks a whole lot like the University of Texas Hook "Em sign. I could understand had this been drawn by someone from Texas A & M, the old arch-rival of Texas.
I don’t like Heavy Metal Magazines….I want Bloom County Back…Bring Back Bloom County, Bring Back Bloom County, Bring Back Bloom County, Bring Back…. Oh Wait.
@ Darren Blair. I remember that group. I was just trying out a bad play on words. “Hocus Pocus” by Focus. One of the great instrumental songs of all time.
BTW, it is possible to find mp3s of the two songs mentioned above online, if you look for the actual recording band. “I’m a Boinger” is by the Harry Pitts Band, and “U-Stink-But-I-♥-U” is by Mucky Pup.

I never realized that Opus had a last name… “Croakus”? Does anyone know if this is confirmed by any other strip in the series?
I used to own a Billy and the Boingers Bootleg book with the “single”.
