Bloom County was the only reason to buy (or get out of the trash bin) New York Newsday.

That's smashing.  Reminds me of my childhood.  Thanks for sharing

This is awesome, Andrew! Thanks for sharing it. I had no clue Breathed was still at it. Bloom County is back, with Opus, in syndication? For a few years now?

He revived the strip in 2016 and releases new strips periodically as he thinks of things he wants to do.   It’s actually been pretty good and my must check every couple of days to see what has been posted. 
 

Even better he opened up an online store where you can buy prints of new and vintage strips with an original Remarque that Breathed will do for $150-180

I broke down and bought one as well as the plush Opus for my cabinet.   The Remarque was well worth it and artist opportunities are not always available.  He opens them up periodically and will close them down so he can keep up with the work.

I bought one that he did when Prince died. David Bowie and Glenn Frey had recently passed as well.

@Buzzetta Thanks for posting.  Bloom County was my favorite back in the 1980's.  I had a 'Bill The Cat For President' Poster in my room.

Don't blame me, I voted for Bill and Opus. Was that the Reagan/Carter election or Reagan/Mondale? I can't recall.

Reagan Mondale  I remember that and almost every election since
