Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for March 24, 2012

Wow. A conservative mother from the 60’s suggesting a heavy rocker as a possible suitor for her daughter.

I can just see the stalactites hanging from the gates of hell.

a drummer?

I used to work near Toledo—it’s a pretty nice city, as cities go these days. On the other hand, hirsute drummers named Zooey (after J.D. Salinger’s eponymous character?) are not my cup of tea: I’d prefer the penguin, thank you.

’Scuse me Mrs Granola, but your daughter wishes to marry a

Southern Hemispherian. That should be enough social grace

for your family to be the envy of the entire neighbourhood.

Go to November 6 1986.

Haha, did you just make that up? I’ve got to write that down

Interspecies mating has got to be way out there on the edge of acceptability … even for 21st century progressive relationships … isn’t it?

@keaCheck out paraphrasing W. C. Fields.

A scum monkey is way better than a penquin…if you’re into that sort of thing.

I had almost forgotten what a Hottie Lola is!!!

Oh yeah…Toledo…I still have the stain..

Toledo, Ohio? Was that stain mud? They have Mud Hens in Toledo. Penguin, Mud Hen, I don’t see much of a difference. Marry something anyway!

Lola’s mom looks a lot like the mime that Opus killed with a mackeral (to the best of my recollection, anyway – I haven’t seen that strip in a long time).

I used to work in the Toledo area and occasionally would drive by this hulking old factory where the Jeeps were produced. That old building always gave me the Willys!
