	Bloom County

		Among the topical issues discussed at length in Bloom County are US anti-drug policy (Dr. Oliver's Scalp Tonic), Christian televangelist scandals (Fundamentally Oral Bill), animal testing (Attack of the Mary Kay Commandos), hard rock and censorship (Deathtðngue and Billy and the Boingers), and mass-media advertising (Opus and his weakness for infomercials).
		The fictional setting of Bloom County served as a recurring backdrop for the comic and its sequels, although the nature of the setting was frequently altered.

	Bloom County St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles
		Bloom County began in 1980 with the setting of the Bloom Boarding House in the mythical Bloom County.
		Both boarding house and county appeared to be named for a local family, originally represented in the comic strip by the eccentric Major Bloom, retired, and his grandson Milo.
		Bloom County was a unique creation not only because of its humor, but because of the unusual perspectives Breathed used.

	Motherfucking Masterpieces: Bloom County
		Milo Bloom, the young, muckraking protagonist of the strip was a mutated “Peanuts” character jaded by the cynicism of Watergate.
		Unlike “Peanuts” or “Garfield,” the characters of “Bloom County” lived in our world and dealt with the same issues we did. Breathed was clearly liberal*, but would not bow to the church of political correctness that demanded all humor be stamped out lest it offend some tiny minority of transsexual Eskimos.
		But perhaps “Bloom County's” greatest success at tackling political issue was the series of strips Breathed ran on the predilection the Mary Kay Cosmetics Company had for testing their chemicals on animals.

	Radley Balko on Bloom County on National Review Online
		Bloom County, you may remember, featured a hodgepodge cast of prairie critters (one of them was actually named "Hodgepodge"), pre-adolescent boys (about my age when I started reading), and adults (whose role was mostly to play the fool).
		Bloom County agitated its targets with a feather, Doonesbury with sledgehammer.
		Gone was the reflexive leftism of Bloom County, and in its place grew a general skepticism for power and political patronage.

		The main foccus was on the Bloom boarding house, owned by Milo Bloom's grandfather, and the citizens living therein, such as lawyer Steve Dallas.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Bloom County
		From its first installment, Bloom County was accused of being an imitation of Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury — a charge that is not entirely without justification.
		It bears a certain resemblance to Trudeau's strip in both style and point of view, and Breathed (rhymes with "method") makes no secret of the fact that he is a great admirer of Trudeau's work.
		Perhaps Breathed is right about aging comic strips —; but by cancelling Bloom County when he did, he has absolutely ensured the aging of his own strip.

		Fortunately, this Washington Post discussion with Breathed suggests he's still got game -- which is to say, he's still got the refined sense of whimsy that made Bloom County a must read when it was around.
		Sure, it didn't begin to touch Bloom County...but judged on its own, against the tripe that litters the comics pages today (does Rose is Rose make anyone else homicidal?), it wasn't all that bad, even if I no longer subscribe to most of Breathed's political views.
		Bloom County was a watered down version of that, and Outland just struck me as tired.
