Bloom County Comic Strip: Satirical Public-Access TV Schedule #2066314 (License: Personal Use)

This six-panel comic by Berkeley Breathed depicts a fictional Sunday morning TV schedule on “Bloom County’s Public-Access Channel,” parodying real-world media tropes. Each segment features exaggerated characters-including Steve Dallas, Opus the penguin, and Bill the Cat-in absurd scenarios, from weather forecasts with obscenities to Marxist commentary and yoga with meditation masters. The strip critiques media sensationalism, political discourse, and cultural trends through sharp, absurdist satire.

Used in articles about political satire, comic strip history, or 1980s pop culture; ideal for editorial pages, museum exhibits, or educational content on media criticism and cartooning.
