Philomel Books, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers has announced it’s publishing Berkeley Breathed’s “The Bill the Cat Story; A Bloom County Epic”. It’s slated for release September 13.
Breathed laid down his pen on the beloved comic strip for 25 years but last summer he began inking more stories.
The cartoonist said he thought it was time “that the gentle, cuddly water colour world of children’s literature discover that a quasi-comatose cat’s life story is sweetly touching”
