** Oliver does his hacking with a "[[UsefulNotes/AppleMacintosh Banana Jr. 6000]] computer". It's drawn as an early Macintosh "all-in-one," but it's effectively a walking, talking AI.

* DisabledLoveInterest: He may be in a wheelchair, but Cutter John is a perfect gentleman, plays ''Franchise/StarTrek'' with his animal friends, and won the heart of Bobbi and would regularly passionately make out with her in the meadow... that is until she vanished from the comic. However, the September 1, 2015 strip [[http://www.gocomics.com/bloom-county/2015/09/08 showed]] Cutter out of his wheelchair and using two braces to stand erect -- to meet the woman he nearly ran over, Miss Fillerup.

Per TRS, Feelies is now Trivia.


* {{Feelies}}: Some of the trade paperback collections included them. ''Billy and the Boingers Bootleg'' included a flexidisk record with 2 of the band's "songs", for example.

* TheDailyMisinformer: The Bloom Beacon/Picayune[[note]] It's been called both with no regards to consistency due to the strip's NegativeContinuity[[/note]] is reliably portrayed as a sensationalist rag which when it's not front-paging outright lies and fabrications is twisting the truth so much there's barely a distinction to be made. Milo Bloom, the paper's resident ten-year-old news hound, frequently twists the statements of people he interviews (Once he managed to finagle a senator into "confessing" that he sunk Jimmy Hoffa and lost the body), and Opus briefly took up the position of the paper's ombudsman and had to deal with a steady stream of complaints and abuse.

* PeculiarPenguin: Opus the Penguin, a bow-tie wearing creature with an anxiety complex who otherwise has no difficulties fitting into local life, is a central character. Unlike other penguins, he has no problem living in the moderate climate of Bloom County and, instead of always being formally dressed, is often seen in just his underwear.

* INeedAFreakingDrink: A harried Opus is the new Bloom Picayune "Ombudsman." After frantically answering phone calls from irate subscribers, we find out why he's called that:
-->'''Opus:''' ''SOMEBODY POUR ME A BUD!''
