Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for October 09, 2023

It’s those tight buns, Opus.

They’re so… lustful.

Sounds like the typical HOA, only with feeling.

Opus is (or may be) a penguin but I’m not convinced he has committed lust.

Ripped from the Headlines "Louisiana student punished by school for dancing at private party. "They basically told me that I should be ashamed of myself,” Timonet told a local news outlet. “That I wasn’t basically following God’s ideals, which made me cry even more.” (The Guardian 10-7-23)

Religion doing what it does best, clearing out anyone who doesn’t believe the way they do.

Mr Binkley and the voting majority want a “kinder, gentler” boarding house.

this is where BC started to contract. it was as if they all lived in one boarding house.

The old heave ho. ☹️

The religion has been perverted to just HATE everyone and everything!!

So “Be fruitful and multiply” is somehow supposed to be done without “lust”? In other words, “Do it, but don’t enjoy it”? Then why does it feel so good?

And if “Man” was made in God’s image, does that mean God has genitals? And if so, for what purpose?

Too many contradictions for me to believe they were ordained by a rational God who wanted to instruct us. More likely by various humans at various times trying to understand what previous various humans had said.

If you notice the similarity between their noses, I wonder if someone other than Opus may have felt (and reacted to) “lust for a Penguin?” Hmmm, genes don’t lie. Of course, it could be a mere coincidence…of course. Rule 39: “There is no such thing as a coincidence.” – L. J. Gibbs, NCIS

Looks like Opus is headed for “The Last House on the Block”.

My HOA rules never mentioned “Penguin Lust”.

And Steve is the model of lustless propriety?

Oh! He was doing so well, but then he crossed the line there, at the end!

Typical religious scum.

Tom Binkley, fighting the Good Fight against Penguin Lust?

Mr. Penguin Opus , you have been marked with a Scarlet Letter. Begone!

Wait a minute. What about forgiveness? The Bloom Boarding House needs its lovable penguin!

Ah, and now Mr. Binkley goes away feeling the warm glow of righteousness having been the typical religious $%&#$ that he is.
