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.
