The Bill the Cat Story: A Bloom County Epic

The Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of the hilarious "Bloom County" comic strip is back! To help celebrate here is the first ever Bloom County picture book featuring fan-favorite Bill the Cat in an origin story. (Ack ack!) The perfect gift for Bloomers old and new. An Amazon Best Book of the Year and NY Times bestseller! Almost thirty-five years ago Berkeley Breathed launched a little-known yet laugh-inducing comic strip called "Bloom County" that was full of characters who instantly entered the public consciousness--none more so than Opus (the penguin) and Bill the Cat. Bloom Countys popularity soared it was soon syndicated nationally had millions of daily readers and before long its creator was awarded a Pulitzer Prize. Then nine years later "Bloom County" sadly came to a close. It had simply ceased being fun for Berkeley Breathed. Now more than twenty-five years after it ended "Bloom County" has returned in full force and humor online with an ever-growing fanbase every bit as zealous as it was in the strips heyday. For the comics youngest fans and for those who never stopped wishing for its return here is an all-new kid-friendly story for anyone who ever wanted to know the origin story of Bill the Cat. "Bloom County" has never been more fun! Praise for The Bill the Cat Story "The illustrations a mixture of cartoons eye-popping virtual paintings and pencil sketches will pull inquisitive audiences of all ages into the story."--Booklist "Extravagantly rendered artwork in luscious color."--Publishers Weekly
