Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for June 10, 2013

OMG! When do the tickets go on sale?! Must see & hear DeathTöngue!

@Bruno Zeigerts: Only if the volume on DeathTöngue’s amp could be set to 12.

When the book (titled “Billy and the Boingers Bootleg”) came out it included a two-sided “single” that could be played on a record player. It wasn’t a true vinyl record thought. It was a paper-thin sheet of plastic with song cut into each side. The songs were “I’m a Boinger” and “U Stink But I Love You.” So you could indeed hear the music of DeathToungue!

‘Course, by missing all the daily comics, we’re missing the whole story line of why the name gets changed…

It may have come up already and I’ve missed it, but does anyone know why we’re only getting the Sundays?

I never realized that Opus had a last name… “Croakus”? Does anyone know if this is confirmed by any other strip in the series?

I used to own a Billy and the Boingers Bootleg book with the “single”.

I want to see Deathtongue/Billy and the Boingers profiled on “Behind the Music”!

I still own the book & the single (& a working turntable to play said single)

Looks Mr. Breathed had a little fun with his alma mater. His “secret devil sign” looks a whole lot like the University of Texas Hook "Em sign. I could understand had this been drawn by someone from Texas A & M, the old arch-rival of Texas.

Opus Croakus by Focus?

I don’t like Heavy Metal Magazines….I want Bloom County Back…Bring Back Bloom County, Bring Back Bloom County, Bring Back Bloom County, Bring Back…. Oh Wait.

hahahaha. bill finds god soon after the PMRC (aka the bored congressional idiot housewives) try to shut down deathtongue

You can find Billy and the Boingers on the torrents.

Opus Croakus, as in Jerkin’ Crocus by Mott the Hoople?

@ Darren Blair. I remember that group. I was just trying out a bad play on words. “Hocus Pocus” by Focus. One of the great instrumental songs of all time.

BTW, it is possible to find mp3s of the two songs mentioned above online, if you look for the actual recording band. “I’m a Boinger” is by the Harry Pitts Band, and “U-Stink-But-I-♥-U” is by Mucky Pup.
