Berkeley Breathed did various comic strips with the characters of, "Bloom County," for some decades via that series, as well as "Outland," and, "Opus." He started doing strips again as a digital verision of, "Bloom County," back in 2015, and has been at it sinc,e with the strips going up on Facebook. However, Beathed has been transparent about how, due to general expenses, he is now going to transition the strip over to Patreon. For just $3 a month, however, people can read his superb works. Some have scoffed at this, but even the original strips were in newspapers you had to pay to read the funnies in--we were spoiled to get the new iteration of the series totally free. If Breathed needs a little scratch to keep telling us stories about Bill the Cat, Steve Dallas, Opus, and the rest, I support this change.
