Bloom County was by far my favorite strip in the 80s. Also liked The Wizard of Id.

Bloom County was by far my favorite strip in the 80s. Berke Breathed was able to laugh at himself, as well as us. He was certainly a lefty, but he was genuinely funny and has legitimate insights into the modern pop culture and its contradictions. I loved Binky's anxieties about tabloid celebrities keeping him up at night. And many freepers loved this classic:

I almost forgot! I did like B.C.!
I always loved it-though it no doubt would give the author of the article the vapors to even think about it! Some of the characters...like Wiley, the peg-leg who was terrified of water.
Cute Chick.
Fat Broad.
Grog.
Clumsy Carp.
That strip was appealing to me!
