  • Thank the gods for Opus

    Now if only the Dead Kennedys could reform and regain their former glory the world might actually start to be liveable again...

  • Oop! Ack!

    Bill is back!

  • Ack!

    Bill the Cat is back!

    Bill & Opus in '08! Pbthhhhthp!

    (And Lola Granola too. Ooop! Ack)

  • Oop Ack

    Bill the cat! You're a sight for sore eyes.

    Robot, I don't think there's any possibility of a DK return; the estrangements seem to be fundamental. But hey, look on the bright side; the Eagles have a new record out sometime soon.

  • Polls

    That cartoon has it about right, I think.

  • No, it's "Oo! Oo!" Bill the Cat talks at last!

    He did NOT say "Oop! Ack!" He repeated the attention-getting phrase of Arnold Horschack from Welcome Back Kotter.

    Gee, it took the entire run of Howdy Doody for Clarabelle the Clown to speak, and the only thing he said was "Goodbye."

    Our little drug-addled retard, our own easy joke for Breathed to throw into any situation when his wit is flagging, is finally growing up. Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset, swiftly flow the years...

  • In times of national crisis,

    ..when the very soul of our nation is at stake, when the foundations of our moral life are shaken to the core, Berkeley Breathed comes out from hiding and saves us all with "You stink (but I love you)".(*)

    Thanks, Berkeley, keep fighting the good fight.

    (*) I anyone other than the author knows what I'm talking about, then I am in good company.

  • Never mind the Dead Kennedys...

    ...we need another bootleg from Billy and the Boingers!

  • Bill's First Words!!!

    Bill the Cat's first discernible words were actually, "I wonder if jury box can be used as a litter box" (or something like that, it's been a long time since I read the comic). To which Steve Dallas (his lawyer in the comic) replied, "shut up, I don't talk to commies."

    DK getting back together? I think there is too much bad blood among the former members for that happens. But more importantly I don't think we will see another good band with a political message for a long time, unless a group of malcontents decides to rock the industry again.

    Any takers out there? God(dess) knows we need you.

    However, like Bill, I am pretty sure that there is a leprechaun in my briefs as well. But even with the Leprechaun in my briefs, I'm not about to start believing the Bush W administration, or drink their cool-aid.

  • Boingers Reunion, Probably Not a Good Idea!

    I doubt Bill could survive getting electrocuted again, because his tongue isn't grounded. So for the sake of Bill, we might want to discourage a Boingers reunion. But I would love to hear more tuba solos.

  • Yes!

    My hero is back!

    Long live Bill!

    ACCK! PHHHFT!

    But of course, you're giving 50% of Americans more credit than they're deserving of.

    Bill is smarter than they are.

  • Bill the Cat is Back

    I think Bush has finally found a replacement for Alberto Gonzales.

    Let's see Congress get any information out of him!

  • Sweet relief

    The only thing I missed when I quit reading the newspapers was the comics, and especially Opus so I am thrilled to see this strip here. Hey BB, they can't shrink the page here on the intertubez!

  • atheist plot

    "global warming is an atheist plot to confiscate our pick-up trucks."

    You think he's kidding. He's not. I meet these people now and then. They do exist. And it would not surprise me a bit if they believe exactly that.

    Our country has way too many idiots in it...but with Bill the Cat back, maybe we can turn things around.

  • Finally! At last!

    You're back in business, Berk.

    Thank you.

  • PAC Forming Now

    Send cash.

  • Well, damn.

    All that vitriol for all these weeks because Nam Boy is a Bill the Cat groupie?!

    Hot fuck, Garry. Maybe there are some BtheC plush toys en eBay.

  • Ha Ha Ha Ha

    Focus on this pole...double entredre.

  • "Where are they?" she asked.

    They're in the South, with a few more in Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Kansas.

    The 27-30% dead-enders have their strongholds, like like those Baath Party dead-enders over in Eye-Raq.

  • Damn...

    ...they're onto our plot steal their pickups! ABORT! ABORT!

  • Lola Granola

    Lola's looking hot these days. She's aged much more gracefully than poor Steve.

  • Hey, they’re not hard to find. Sometimes they’re HERE….

    The people in these polls are normally hiding in the underwear of the Chief Chimp and the Shooter. Upon displacement by occasional attacks of accountability-induced flatulence from their hosts, they are usually found on Troll Patrol right here!

  • Berke (Joycean from New Mexico) Back on Track

    Stephen Dedalus.

    Bloom.

    Idiot Bill, representing the Republican poll-subject

    Leperchauns.

    Soon Finneghan will resurface with his mirror texts.

    Joyce, folks.

    It is more than the spectacle of the current leadership.

    It is Joyce-A Gods'eyes view of a troubled empire on the steady decline.

  • What's it like

    To be such smug assholes?

  • What's it's like

    To be such smug assholes?

    To know that the president of the United States is so smug that he smirks at us every time he gets on TV?

    To know that Rove, Gonzales and Cheney laugh at us because we're stupid enough to roll over and play dead for them?

    Pretty bad, man. Pretty awful bad.

    Leave it be. It's a cartoon for god's sake. Let us smug assholes be smug. The people it was in reference to will never see it, wouldn't understand it in a million years.

    Except you, of course, Anonymous. Brave enough to face all of us with a pen name that can't be traced...

  • BILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

    What a great character.

  • Oh Bill, dear Bill!

    So glad I kept my After The Election t-shirt:

    Don't blame me! I voted for Bill 'n' Opus!

    Could we persuade you to run again, with Opus as your running mate? Maybe this time America would get sane and vote you into office. At least we know you wouldn't subject us to the crazy shit we've had to live through these last six years. I doubt you'd do worse than hack up a few hairballs on the Oval Office rug.

  • Oh yeah, sure!

    It's Bill's fault...

  • "Is being an idiot like being high all the time?"

    What's it like [to] be such smug assholes?

    It's like constantly being right.

  • Right question, wrong audience…

    “What's it like to be such smug assholes?”

    You truly are clueless…

    When the flatulence clears and you’ve cleaned up the fecal matter in your master’s drawers crawl back in and just ask him!

  • What's it like to wear a bikehelmet in the bathtub?

    I love the way you fuckwits save up most of your weekly ire for the Sunday comic. Go ahead shake your impotent little fists at God, why don't ya? I'm sure it's vitally important to some other fuckwits.
