bill the cat currently appears on breathed's personal facebook page. he and opus ran for potus in the 2016 election. their primary issue was the return of "two spaces after a period." following the 2016 election, a new "bloom county" strip ran on breathed's page which saw opus giving a speech to bill about the importance of staying close to family in the face of massive changes, as family was where everything stayed exactly the same. bill responds in perfect english, "so irrevocably true."
