Bloom County is back.

The downside, it's being posted on FB.

Yay, so, unreadable on my phone because Facebook doesn't let me pinch-zoom.

Yeah, this makes me immensely happy, although you'd think Berkeley Breathed could have found some other way to distribute his comics besides giving the exclusive to Facebook. Perhaps not coincidentally, Facebook introduced a new feature around the same time that lets you promote something to always be at the top of your feed, no matter what. Like, say, your favorite childhood comic strip.

How often will he publish, though?

He ended on a Trump buyout way back when. Perhaps he'll get into the new Trump...

So far posts have been every day, except for last Monday.
This NPR article says

Quote:
It's unclear whether Breathed will syndicate his new work in newspapers; he recently recalled how an editorial dispute with a publisher had a direct role in his decision to quit cartooning in 2008. His Facebook postings, Breathed said earlier this month, are "nicely out of reach of nervous newspaper editors, the PC humor police now rampant across the web ... and ISIS."
