Bloom County - November 13, 1987

Here's a very dated, but still funny Bloom County daily from when the NFL was on strike on 1987.

To parody the NFL strike, Bloom County creator Berke Breathed created a storyline where the Bloom County characters went on strike and replacements were brought in. This strip is from the end of the story where the strike is now over, but a NFL replacement player still shows up looking for a job -- in this case to replace Bill the Cat.

I bought this directly from Berke Breathed's company in 2007 and received a nice note from Carolyn Breathed that I had purchased the strip exactly 20 years after its publication.
