Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for July 06, 2024

Bill and Opus 1988 to go along with “The Wimp vs The Shrimp”…….

Opus for Emperor, I say, not the penguin type :)

In fact, on April 27, 1983, our narrator stated, “who, of course, had recently been dispatched to the FoodMart for some ‘Cheetos’ to insure a smooth nomination.” Cheetos, not Ding Dongs.

Just happened to me: I missed the meeting when elections are done and was voted in. Teach me to miss another meeting.

Ding dongs make me laugh, but not for what one would think. One Saturday we were grocery shopping. We always grab a small snack to eat in the car. My husband always has mini donuts, but this one particular day he chose Ding Dongs. We stopped at the gas station on the way home and my husband got a call from his sister (who NEVER calls him), but he let it go to voicemail. After we got home & put everything away, he called his sister back. It turned out that his mother had died. Now, my MIL treated her two daughters like precious princesses but my husband got the sh*t end of the stick on everything. All we could think about when we got the news was, “Ding Dong, the Witch is dead.” Now, go back and read what he had for his snack. (I know this is kinda dark, but trust me, my MIL was NOT a nice person. Even our daughters weren’t saddened by the news.)

“If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve; if sent out for Ding-Dongs, I will not return…”

Pastor announced council elections after the potluck dinner. I hadn’t brought anything for the dinner and didn’t have a horse in the race, so I went home. Next week when I came to church I was congratulated for being elected Facilities chairman.

Judging by the Baobab tree, they’ve moved Bloom County to Africa, Madagascar, or Australia.

There is, in fact, no greater ding-dong than the one they selected!

Did you hear the one about: “Opus, Biden, and Kamala walk into a bar…, well, OK, Kamala walked in, Opus waddled in, and Joe tripped and went down at the doorway…”

You know what? Maybe 2024 is FINALLY the year Bill ‘n’ Opus win this election….

Ding Dongs seem an appropriate snack for this election year too.

the meadow party was much stronger in 84, by 88 it was just a shell of itself.

Theres a Boabub tree in Bloom County?
