Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for August 17, 2019

And the real Police will arrive to arrest Opus for this interpretation : abuse of tuba in a rock concert after exactly 50 years from Woodstock .

Every song you fake.

Viva Tuba!

Just this weekend, my husband, daughters & I were grocery shopping, and this song came up. I sang the line, “Every herring you bake,” referencing this! Timing!

The stalker’s song!

Herring ?? Oh—I forgot, Opus is a penguin.

Every oom you pah.

Wait a second… I went to that concert. The line was “Every bong-toke I take.” That was a bad season for many. “What the Sting brings, and what the Penguin sings…” Dangerous lyrics for a broken society, I’m sure.

LOLOL – Very Funny indeed ♥♥

If Woodstock had featured a singing penguin playing the tuba it would have been an even greater event. Come to think of it, never mind; everybody was too stoned to have noticed it…

I am, regrettably, reminded of the commercial currently running on TV (at least in the Chicagoland area) for an auto insurance company in which a mother driving her adult son and his rock bandmate home (because he’s lost his insurance) recommends adding a tuba to their rock band. She has nothing on the bold penguin of Bloom County!

Ever since I first saw this strip in 1983, whenever I hear that song on the radio, I always sing “… every herring you bake“

One of my all-time favorites!
