Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for January 20, 2023

Skinny, skinny cat!

“Dead” is not a word that’s commonly paired with “again.”

I would have added a well known South Park quote, but no matter what I do, the GoComics algorithm blocks it.

Ow.

About 50 years ago there was a guitarist named Leslie Harvey who was electrocuted by a combination of a grounded guitar amp and an ungrounded mic. Killed him on stage – the audience thought it was part of the act.

He’ll need a 55 gallon drum of the stuff.

When Breathed was good he was very good.

I haven’t heard mention of Bactine for almost as long Mercuochrome.

He’s not dead… again…

Interesting.

Imagine the smell of scorched Bill cat hair

Dropped four flights and cracked my spine/Honey come quick with the iodine

“Tennessee Jed”, R. Hunter & J. Garcia

“ACK!” (“Again! Turn it up to 11 this time!”)

“He’s not dead again is he?” One of my favorite lines in the strip.

That does give a new meaning to Deathtongue.

They should have Marshalls instead of a Vox.

I know STEM is hard, especially for comic strip artists, but Bill might have got a buzz from capacitance without a ground, but a ground was required for current to pass through his body. Just ask any lineman.

Many years later The Penguin would ask “Can’t anyone in this town stay dead?”

Bactine. This is an old strip.

A little jolt just gives Bill more lives (than the traditional cat’s nine)! He’s like the Frankenstein Monster, and practically indestructible.

Besides, the Bactine will sooth his scorched cathide….

Not Again!! Bactine for when your hide is fried.
