Bloom County Babylon: Five Years of Basic Naughtiness (Bloom County) description
This first big "bible" of Bloom County includes comics from the earlier collections: Loose Tails, 'Toons for Our Times and Penguin Dreams and Stranger Things. Eighty full-color pages including the wonderful Opus "hairy fishnuts/Hare Krishnas" strip and the first Bill-the-Cat appearance. If you hurt yourself laughing (like when you read about Bill freebasing Friskies), don't blame me; I warned you. |

A fabulous strip that is sadly gone from the papers
|
Thankfully we can still get his books of Bloom County and Outland and of course, his current iteration, Opus.
I have always loved Berkely's quirky look at life, politics, love and what not through the eyes of Milo, Opus, Cutter John and others throughout the years and when I bought this book, I would read 2-3 pages, often before turning out the light at night and would find myself laughing at much of the strips. That's how good they are, even now some 20 years later and I recall reading many of then when they were running in the papers. While some of the strips show their age a little, the strip is as still timeless now as when they were originally conceaved. That's a rare feat in my book.
While it's by no means all of his Bloom County strips, it's a good collection of some of the best and that alone is worth it.
