Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for October 16, 2024

Isn’t this when they discover that one of them is female?

Nothing will clear out the feminine product area at the store like a big guy shopping for his wife. The same effect and even more entertaining is the lingerie department…

Poor critters! I wonder how they would handle today’s ads for bladder leak protection, erectile disfunction, or Peroni’s disease (among others)?

I want a chartreuse flamethrower….

For a lotta men this is almost as bad as voting a woman for president.

A while back a local gun shop had a barbie pink revolver for sales. the producer said it was ‘for the ladies’ we had a lot of fun with that.

I wonder if this story line wasn’t inspired by some real mail to Berke. To some people, a cigar is never just a cigar.

They have Doctor Who, Matlock, The Equalizer, Higgins, Starbuck, The Ghostbusters, Captain Marvel, and Kato. What more do they want.

Gosh, I wish we could go back to those simple discreet, innuendo filled days, when the “blood” a detergent promised to handle was, “wink,” for the skinned knees mom was tenderly bandaging. Now, there is nothing less appetizing than eating dinner streaming 30 Rock and up pops those ads shaming intimate body-odor, or the “specialty” razor, with accompanying body shots, ugh. And yes the other ones mentioned previously.

Sadly, those days of “suspiciously vague” ads for “feminine protection” are long gone. I miss them.

Herodatus, misogynist that he was, tells of a woman Pandora bringing all the miseries to the world!!

These days the commercials are much more direct, not using euphemisms.
