Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for September 11, 2021

I love Oliver best after Opus.

Things have turned around a bit in the intervening years hackerwise.

“…a glorious state of utter higgledy-piggledy.”

Or a glorious state of higgledy-piggledy utterances.

Just beware of people with umbrellas from now on. The Soviets were known to have agents poke enemies with umbrellas with poisoned tips.

Of course, the new regime likes to poison people with polonium.

Higgledy-Piggledy means “a real mess”

In reality it went the other way around.

Love that acoustic coupler modem.

Barbara Perkins?

Look at the old acoustic-coupler next to the phone!

Go for it, Oliver!

Who knew Oliver knew Russian? Or that he has the Cyrillic alphabet on that old keyboard?

I was wondering why they broke apart. Well done Oliver.

Who’s the chick in the picture?

“Today, comrades, you get the real Pravda…”

I could have sworn a certain “Banana Jr” computer ws MURDERED BY A BOULDER in a previous strip!

I hope Oliver is now working for the NSA.

Early hacker history: having fun at commie’s expense….

Higgledy Piggledy?

The word “Pravda” means “Truth” in English. Make of that what you will.
