      He also appeared in television commercials in the early 1980s, including a memorable campaign for Mattel’s Intellivision. In this campaign, Plimpton touted the superiority regarding the graphics and sounds of Intellivision video games over the Atari 2600.

Bloom County is an American comic strip by Berkeley Breathed which originally ran from December 8, 1980, until August 6, 1989. It examined events in politics and culture through the viewpoint of a fanciful small town in Middle America, where children often have adult personalities and vocabularies and where animals can talk.

  1. This community is for Bloom County ands associated media from 1980-1989, the life of the original strip.
