Sunday Funnies: BLOOM COUNTY

Another batch of strips from the old 80s classic, Bloom County. This time around, we're focusing in on one of the 'second wave' of characters, Oliver Jones.
Although he was not there from the beginning, after his first appearance he became one of the central players in the series. He fared better than some of the other characters that floated in and then disappeared forever.
