Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for February 13, 2023

Ever the optimist.

My late wife used to enjoy getting a gift from Frederick’s of Hollywood! It lead to a many wonderful memories following Valentine’s, birthday’s and Christmas’s!

At least he isn’t beating around the bush about it.

I used to drool over the Frederick’s ads in the back of magazines when I was a teen age boy.

It’s basically very expensive skimpy lack of clothing, that can now be worn anywhere.

Nothing says love like true exploitation.

And where did Steve get $500?

Presumably Victoria’s Secret wasn’t around when this was drawn.

Do women really appreciate getting lingerie for Valentines day?

At least it’s not obscenely-shaped chocolates. (Granted, not much better…)

Good ol’ lecher Steve Dallas comes through for Christmas! Hope she appreciates his thoughtfulness….

Steve Dallas is reminiscent of a long gone equally sleazy cartoon character, Chuck Laylo, from Downstown which folded in 1986.
