My son's cat sits like Bill. So I edited him into today's strip.
...little did Berke know at the time the events set in motion by this strip...
Milo knew!
LOL nice find, I don't remember that moment.
Just as Opus was coming into his own, he was overshadowed by Bill.
Is this really the first appearance of Bill the Cat?
First appearance June 13, 1982
According to Wikipedia and this strip, yes.
I want a Bill plushy that stinks when squeezed
I do have a regular plush, does not stink.
I like it
Flammable pyjamas?
For a while, that parent.com article comes across as the pajamas spontaneously igniting, but it sounds like what actually happened was that the burned kids got ahold of matches, a lighter, a candle, or another flame.
I've never heard this before. Clothing that doesn't burn well seems like a good idea, in general.
Yeah while reading the article I could not figure the source of ignition for the clothing. I grew up in dry New Mexico, I remember as a kid when I would get into bed I would see static discharge in my blankets. So I kept wondering if that was the source. Then finally they mentioned matches etc.

Bloom County is an American comic strip by Berkeley Breathed which originally ran from December 8, 1980, until August 6, 1989. It examined events in politics and culture through the viewpoint of a fanciful small town in Middle America, where children often have adult personalities and vocabularies and where animals can talk.
