Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for February 01, 2024

Gee whiz, gotta cut corners somewhere.

And don’t forget the goon squads …

Yeah, scabs. And don’t pick ‘em if you’re gonna make me watch you eat ’em !!!

Hmmm. I wonder which political cartoonist has a penguin character willing to cross picket lines? Is it the same one who insulted Berkeley Breathed when he won his Pulitzer?

Zippy the Pinhead, Henry, the Katzenjammer Kids? ☺

Kind of self-defeating when your plans are published for your opponents to read.

You could always disguise yourselves and get your jobs back, or start a competing newspaper.

The strikers should have known this was always a possibility. Not to mention the odd character capitulating and agreeing to work again.

He reminds me of Trump, with his make america great again agenda: harassing trans people, minorities, women and immigrants. Yup, make america great again, bring back the 1800s, prior to the civil war, before women could vote, when immigrants were regularly attacked.

The essence of Lee Iococa: At Ford, he was in charge of the Pinto project. The engineers came to him & said “Um, Lee – these POSs explode when they’re rear-ended.” He asked what it would cost to fix it. Then he asked the lawyers how much they projected paying in damages to the families of killed by the flaw. Settlements were less, so he said “Cool – build it as is!”

…and so, "Reality"Shows, took over….

Give them a raise – they earned it!!

Anti-union tactics have not changed over the years, except the government no longer sends in troops to round up the strikers. Of course, if we re-elect tRump, that might happen.

I noticed this sleezebag has pointy hair. Was this strip done before Dibert?
