Bill The Cat Cartoon

Bill the cat cartoon is the star of the comic strip "Bloom County". Bill is a flea ridden orange cat (see a real orange cat - Orange Persian Cat) that was introduced into the comic strip by Milo Bloom. Milo had seen a popular trend for cartoon cats and thought, it seems, that it would be a good idea to introduce one. Milo described Bill the cartoon cat as being "raised in the green gentle hills of Dubuque, Iowa".

Seeking fame Bill left his home and went to the Big Apple, New York. He was turned down by a number of high profile comic strips but accepted by Bloom County where he became wealthy. His fame got the better of him reducing him to a drug taking wreck but he was saved by friends.

Opus the Penguin is also a star of Bloom County. It seems that Bill was involved in a car accident, on the famous route 66 in a ferrari, in which he was killed, DNA recovered from his tongue and then recreated to then run for president of the United States -- what a star. Bill the cartoon cat also ran off to be a Rajaneeshee culturist in Oregon. He called himself, Bhagwan Bill! This was the time I guess when such movements were popular.

Eventually Bill became a Republican upsetting his democratic friends. In the comic strip Bill consistently choaked in his hairballs. His dialogue being reduced to "Ack, ack, ack". He starred in a film called: Orangestoke: The Legend of Bill, Lord of the Monkeys and Terms of Bills Endearment and a slasher flick.
