All the wit, charm and biting satire that are trademarks of Bloom County and Berkeley Breathed are clearly on display and evident in this handsome new volume.

Berkeley Breathed lives and works in Santa Barbara, California and is the proud owner of a gentle pit bull named Ridley, a deaf dachshund named Milly, and a refugee mutt from the Puerto Rican streets named Pilar--splendidly flawed dogs, every one.
"Bloom County is both an escape from and a mirror to our complicated modern world." —Publisher's Weekly (starred review)

"Cracking open Episode XI took me back a couple of decades, where I could lay on my bed and laugh at the naivety of Opus, the chauvinism of Steve Dallas, and the unblinking devotion to science of Oliver Wendell Jones. And that’s worth every cent." —Ars Technica
