Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for December 08, 2020

Steve had a little too much of the bubbly.

This one needs the comic immediately before for context. I think her name was Charlene.

Did anyone else notice the significant gap between yesterday’s comic (12/30) and today’s (1/3)? One day isn’t unusual, but three?

Steve reminds me of Zonker’s Uncle Duke having one of his tequila-and-coke episodes.

Hey, the elves are real. I don’t know about a talking computer, but the elves are very, very real. What, you can’t see them?

Again, several strips were skipped, affecting continuity. This time they skipped three strips, where Steve and the Banana Jr’s “romance” is introduced. (Note that this includes the New Year’s strip of 1985)

How lucky the Banana Jr. 6000 is to be alive! Drunks with guns is not a Good Thing.

If you drink, don’t shoot!
