Is Bloom County back?

Is Berkeley Breathed back producing Bloom County? These two photos were all over social media this morning. The first shows Berkeley digitally drawing "Bloom County 2015" and the second one is the final product with Opus and Milo, 25 years later.

Bloom County ran for 9 years (from 1980 to 1989), it seems so much longer.


Donald Trump may be the reason for the return. This was an exchange under Berkeley's Facebook photo:


Larry Warshall (a fan): Dear Mr. Breathed.With Donald Trump returning to the Political Spectum, I believe it is only fitting. I have missed you guys.


Berkeley Breathed: This creator can't precisely deny that the chap you mention had nothing to do with it.


The copyright on the image is Berkeley Breathed and not a syndicate, so no one is sure yet whether it will be printed in newspapers or just appear online.

Last June, Bill Watterson, "Calvin and Hobbes" creator, returned to the comics pages by drawing a few panels in Stephan Pastis' "Pearls Before Swine." So now all that's missing for a come back is Gary Larson and "The Far Side."

It's really nice to see so much attention returning to the comics pages.
