Thanks for reading this post and be sure to join the community if you haven’t already!

I started several comic strip communities for some of my favorite comic strips and one of those is Bloom County.

One of the points of the these communities is to enjoy the comics in the way they were originally released, which is on a daily basis. The first BC comic was released on December 8, 1980 and so I will be posting it on 12-8-23.

Feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Bloom County!

    A little late to the party, but this is awesome! Bloom County was one of my favorite cartoons of all time… something about Berkeley’s sense of humor just hits me in the right spot.

    Besides, who wouldn’t want an X-15 cruise basselope?

    A bit off topic, but what is the purpose of all these alternate accounts? Also I am a bit curious about the reason for the test posts.

    Back on topic, good luck with these comic communities and I will gather some dandelions in preparation for December 8th.

      Awesome on the dandelion prep and stay tuned!!!

      In short I created the alternate accounts for those just incase shit happens days. The long story is the Lemmy instance I started with was getting slammed with new signups and other server hiccups that were taking it down for small periods of time. With the nature of Lemmy and the Fediverse, it just made sense to have a few accounts. That way if any instance ever go down for a bit or forever I have alternates. I have three on Lemmy and one on Kbin. It’s probably a bit overkill, but what the hey.

      Lastly the test posts are for adding all my accounts as mods to the community. It’s a bit confusing why it’s setup this way on Lemmy, but you have to make a comment on the community, then you can be added as a mod.

    This is awesome and I’m looking forward to reliving the joy that is Bloom County!

    I love the countdown posts, but will riot if Bill the Cat is not included in the final lead up as he is my spirit animal 🤟😂❤️
