Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for October 09, 2021

The good ol’ days.

All you need to do is update the names of the countries

The story of ‘civilisation’!

No dandelions to hug. [Sigh]

You just need to update the names of the countries

They’re rioting in AfricaThey’re starving in SpainThere’s hurricanes in FloridaAnd Texas needs rain

The whole world is festering with unhappy soulsThe French hate the Germans, the Germans hate the PolesItalians hate Yugoslavs, South Africans hate the DutchAnd we don’t like anybody very much

But we can be thankful and tranquil and proudThat man’s been endowed with the mushroom shaped cloudAnd we know for certain that some lovely daySome one will set the spark off and we will all be blown away

They’re rioting in AfricaThere’s strife in IranWhat nature doesn’t do to usWill be done by our fellow man!

The Merry Minuet, 1959The Kingston Trio

The more things change…

Things don’t change at all, do they?

Enough to make a grown man cry.

Opus Rules, even when he isn’t around!

If Young Binkley weren’t such a wuss I might almost feel sorry for him. Palliative 1: turn off the TV. 2: turn on the classical music radio station. 3: find the lone surviving dandelion. 4: enjoy life!

Binkley can come to my house. I’ve still got dandelions blooming.
