Description
Book two continues the complete Bloom County strip in chronological order, covering September 1982 to July 1984, presented in softcover for the first time! Continueing right where book one left off, with Berkeley Breathed's endearing, enchanting, and occasionally infuriating inhabitants of Bloom County treating us to their madcap adventures, cynical observations, and optimistic innocence--sometimes all at once! Included herein is the death (and return) of Bill the Cat, the introduction of Oliver Wendell Jones, and all manner of thought-provoking hilarity as only Bloom County can deliver! This volume also contains an introduction by legendary journalist-and Bloom County fan-Ted Koppel!
