Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for May 23, 2023

Poor Rosebud, the universal basselope, used for anything they come up with.

Bite him, Rosebud! … Oh, I see…

… and Rosebud’s tail is, for some reason, folded backwards and bound. That has to be painful too!

Something like this also happened on the Brady Bunch with Peter lobbing a football right at Marsha and off of her nose.

Anyhow, at least Opus has a decent magazine for Rosebud. Vanity Fair has some decent content in its stories and exposes as well as cutting edge photography.

The Michael J Fox comment at the end falls a bit flat considering what he is fighting. Loved his bit on Jimmy Kimmel with Christopher Lloyd.

Polo is similar to fox hunting: “The unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable.”

and just think this is prince harry’s favorite sport, after kow-towing to his wife.

So, a jerk playing polo is a wanker with a wonker?

Oh, no poor Rosebud. But this was funny. Still poor Rosebud.

My former boss and her husband played polo. They were successful, wealthy people, but in the work of polo, I suspect they were the country cousins. They played in matches against freakin’ ROYALTY fer gosh sakes. By the way, you don’t bring just one horse to the match. Each player should have SIX mounts, so none get overtaxed. So my boss and her husband had to trailer 12 horses around just to play this silly game.

“Rosebud’s nose was whacked off.”

“That’s terrible! How does he smell?”

“Bad as ever.”

You can’t go wrong with the classics…

Oh, where to start? The (in light of subsequent diagnosis) totally inappropriate Michael J. Fox comment at the end? The wanker / wonker pun implied in it? The ‘swinging at balls and horse sweat innuendo’ ? Decisions, decisions.

The ultimate indignity. A Wonker to the Honker!

Charles was an avid polo player. Too bad he was awful at it.

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! Now, finally, at last, I have learned All I Need to Know About Polo, thanks to the model penguin, the self-sacrificing basselope, and the omniscient author!

The storyline date is off, but anyways, Happy 36th Anniversary to Opus & Lola!
