Press Release
Picking up right where the previous volume left off, Bloom County: Shenaniganary collects year three of Berkeley Breathed’s newest Bloom County strips.
The residents of Bloom County are back to put their trademark tragi-comic spin on the horrors of the previous year, so lock all your worries in the anxiety closet for a bit. Who knows? When you come back they may be just the tiniest bit funnier. The stakes are higher, the punchlines are sharper, and the laughter is more desperate!

Before I read comic books, I read comic strips. To this day I have no idea why the two are considered to be so different to people, to me, they’re both comics. When the “death of print” started and everyone proclaimed newspapers to be on the demise I was mortified. Not because of how many reporters would lose their jobs or how’d we get our weekly ads, but instead because of the comic section. At my house, we had a subscription to the Denver Post just for the comics. I wish that were an exaggeration but my father has never read any other section of the paper and while my mother dabbles, it’s very telling when you start in the comics section and then see what else you paid for, it’s just how we are. The charm of comic strips to me is that it’s daily. Getting just a tiny bit every day of the series you enjoy will always be better than a monthly comic.
