Can't believe this was one of my least popular reads. I loved this. Regardless, it's been an excellent reading year filled with tons of first writers. Mothers, Homegoing, Behold the Dreamers, Here Comes the Sun are a few that pop into mind. Happy New Year everyone! 🍾🥂🍷🎂
pickThrilled that Opus and crew are back. Despite reading most Of these on line, Nothing beats reading this huge beautiful collection in hand. Well, maybe if Calvin & Hobbes, Far Side, Foxtrot and Cul de Sac also reappeared, my comic newspaper reading life would be complete.
From the National Book Festival in DC in September 2016.
Sorry for the poor quality but I was too busy listening to really focus on picture taking.
My new staff rec! ❤️❤️ Bloom County 4eva. And bless Berkeley Breathed for bringing the sexy back with Sith Lord Sexypants 😜😜.
(And for those of you wondering, I can tell you where the original Bloom Boarding House is...it's in my town!)
pickI have thoroughly enjoyed this book. I‘m not even sure it is the full book. I picked up a pulp copy at BEA, and a digital copy, and they do not match. The pulp book says it‘s just a preview. So who knows (yes I know, the publisher does). Doesn‘t matter, I am happy to have Bloom Country back in my life. I love the explanations at the beginning on where Opus went.
pickI ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Berke Breathed so much - I got to meet him at BEA this year - and I am so excited that he has started writing/drawing Bloom County again. And that the new collection is coming out in September! Get ready for Bill and Opus as presidential candidates (again) and the return of Steve Dallas who is the gift that keeps on giving. Plus Cutter John, Milo, Binkley, and a few new characters to tickle your funny bone. (Book 2 of #24in48, 48pp)
Impromptu addition to @24in48 readathon stack - I've been savoring this DRC of new Bloom County strips (out in September!!) and Mr. Breathed has the gift to give us pathos and humor in one panel. 😂😢 #24in48 #24in48readathon #amreading
pickI'm a fangirl. I admit it. Berkeley Breathed bringing Bloom County back has been just as magical for me as his strips were in the 80s. Political and social commentary mixed in with a bit of philosophy and a big helping of silliness, they make me smile, groan, and laugh out loud. Ready to re-read.
I am laughing loudly over here! Over and over.
Oh Berkely Breathed, I am beyond thrilled to find this on NetGalley. Swoon.
