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.\n\nAn Amazon Best Book of the Year and NY Times bestseller!\n\nAlmost 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 County's 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.\n\nNow, 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 strip's heyday. For the comic's 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!\n\nPraise for The Bill the Cat Story\n\n\"The illustrations, a mixture of cartoons, eye-popping virtual paintings, and pencil sketches, will pull inquisitive audiences of all ages into the story.\"--Booklist\n\n\"[E]xtravagantly rendered artwork in luscious color.\"--Publishers Weekly\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0399546626\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0399546626.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Breathed, Berkeley\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
