Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for August 28, 2021

Started off well enough…

I don’t think that’s National Geographic he’s reading there.

Mmmm, herring entrails.

As a nature enthusiast I’m kind of ashamed to admit that I had to google Roger Tory Peterson. Turns out he’s a rather famous ornithologist.

“…a meal of cold, jellied herring entrails with catsup.” Bahahahahaha!!! Sounds like a Danish meal, to me!!!

Washed down with a Diet Coke.

I thought Opus might have been into “Vanity Fair” which had just been reborn in 1983, right before this comic strip though Harpers in its own right has had some good articles and back then in the ’80s had contributors like John Updike and before my time back in the Nam era Seymour Hersh did publish his My Lai Massacre article in Harpers which was cutting edge. Anyhow, back in 1984 I would have recommended that Opus read The New Republic and Mother Jones to get a good handle of what was happening in America circa 1984.

Penguins: Their Lives and Times

Remember when restaurants had ashtrays?

Sam of Atypical is the authority on penguins.

WOT? Author Roger Tory Peterson is one of the most prominent authors on birds. SERIOUSLY doubt he’d make up this silleh-ness. Whatchoo been smokin’, Breathed?

Just goes to show ya; anyone can get a book published these days, even some crazed spreader of fake penguin info!

I prefer my herring to be pickled. And everybody knows herring is better with mustard!
