Not sure for how long, or in what form, but nonetheless new Bloom County can only be a good thing.

Awesome. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find a tank and Lionel Richie's address...
I am happy.
Of special interest to me.
Not sure what "Back" entails.
Has the strip been put back into syndication? Is there a new book out?
Would love to have it back as a regular feature even though I stopped buying newspapers about 15 years ago.
Bloom County was okay, but it got too political for me - on the other hand, if someone could convince Bill Watterson to come out of retirement that would be news.
"Steve is on the floor. A jealous girlfriend has just cut off his legs with a carrot peeler..."
Pear dimples for hairy fishnuts!
Still one of my favorites.
Once upon a time, a girl who played a very significant role in my personal history had a stuffed Opus sitting on the shelf in her bedroom. We had to turn it around to face the other direction. It was very distracting.
maybe Bill the Cat is running for president again:
Bill the Cat for President 2016.
This news made my day.
MEN'S COUCH!
I really never "got" Bloom County. But other than Dilbert and The Far Side (and maybe one or two others), I was never too interested in the comics.
I went back and looked some of the older Bloom stuff over to see if it made more sense as an adult, and while it is more comprehensible, it still doesn't interest me. What do you guys like about it?
I loved the computer bits.

Always been my favorite.
I love the sardonic humor that he brings to bear on political and social current events. Plus I enjoy the drawing style. I started reading them at an age where I was becoming aware of the larger world, politics, foreign affairs, etc and always found them funny. It managed to straddle the line between editorial cartoons that really were trying to say something and totally absurdist humor.
At least, that's always been my take on it.

Attack of the Mary Kay Commandos was one of my favorite books growing up.
I use a Bill the Cat reference when describing managers at work. "They scooped out his brains and replaced them with tater-tots."

I still have that stuffed Opus in my old room at my Mom's. I guess it has become relevant again. I for one welcome back Bloom County. It was pivotal in my younger life.
In reply to LopRacer:
Wait...that was you?!!
Favorite comic of all time. I used to wear this t-shirt in high school.
I loved this strip as a high school kid. I think I still have all the books on a shelf downstairs.
