Fox Developing a ‘Bloom County’ Animated TV Series Based on Beloved Comic

[geechiedan]

Fox is developing a beloved 1980s comic into a primetime animated series: A TV series version of Bloom County is officially in the works with its Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist creator Berkeley Breathed on board.

Fox is looking to bring to life Steve Dallas, Bill the Cat, Opus the Penguin and other characters from Breathed’s strip, which originally ran from 1980 to 1989 and spawned several best-selling books. With a tone that was smart, whimsical and occasionally downright silly, Bloom County examined events in politics and culture from the viewpoint of an idyllic small town in Middle America.

Beloved by who?

I read the Sunday funnies as a kid. I love them, but there is always a couple that you'd wonder who the hell are these for? Prince valiant, Mary worth, doonesbury, and Bloom county

I'm used to read that comic strip and dunesbury. I remember when the boondocks started out as a comic strip. They need to make "Curtis" an animated series that was a good black comic strip.

I think MW and Judge Parker were like soap opera-type comics

Funky Winkerbean was a good strip

I used to be a big fan of Bloom County and a newspaper comics in general. The OG was very 80s politics. Things are so different now.

With FOX it won't need to suck. Just have good ratings in the inner cities. Or have poor ratings in Heehaw County, Fox will kill it.
