Hello fellow Bloom County fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Bloom County is an American comic strip by Berkeley Breathed which originally ran from December 8, 1980, until August 6, 1989. It examined events in politics and culture through the viewpoint of a fanciful small town in Middle America, where children often have adult personalities and vocabularies and where animals can talk. On July 12, 2015, Breathed started drawing Bloom County again. The first revived strip was published via Facebook on July 13, 2015... Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_County

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Bloom County!

Federation issues between sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee

https://status.lemm.ee/

Idk about other instances

Thanks. Last time it happened it was sopuli and the rest of the fediverse. I tried checking my old lemm.ee account.

I haven't seen any of these on lemmy.world or lemmy.dbzer0.com. :(

I didn't know this sub existed until I saw your post.

Welcome, welcome! Some sensible people call us Bloomers, I prefer "Boingers". Either way, you are welcome to this rural county.

Now is a good time to get caught up!

I assumed it was just another period where there were no comics published (there have already been some gaps I've seen of 1-2 days). I also subscribe to "The Far Side" and "Calvin & Hobbes" posted by the same person, and those comics have been coming through each day as expected so I doubt it's a federation issue.

Nope, I can see the recent comics just fine:

I think it is a federation issue between sh.itjust.works (where MrSebSin is) and lemm.ee (where BloomCounty is)

You can see posts on !thefarside@sh.itjust.works and !calvinandhobbes@lemmy.world because they don't need to pass through lemm.ee to get to mander.xyz.

Well damn, hope they can get it sorted out soon then.

[–] Shdwdrgn@mander.xyz 4 points 3 months ago

Hoorah, they're back!

Mrsebsin usually posts “no comic today” on days with no comic.
