"Bloom County's "true" setting was known to residents of Iowa City, IA, during the strip's run. The Bloom Boarding house, which appeared as a high contrast photo within the strip, was an actual residence in Iowa City, where Breathed lived at the time." (from Search.com)

I used to live right across the street from the Bloom County Boarding House. It is on the corner of Summit and College in Iowa City. I looked for a picture to link to but came up dry.

Something just occurred to me. Mom and Dad McBride first had Don, and then ran out of names. So they called the next two sons "Shane" and that explains it all. (The girl twin was called "Shanetta" of course.)

Anybody steals my girl
I'm going to kick until they curl
Up with pain and spit up blod
Then I'll grind their face into the mud.

Okay.

Owed to Officer Dana

Officer Dana is, like, the queen of my heart
I can hardly flippin' stand it that we are still apart
I think about her almost every day
Speshully when things ain't goin' my way, eh?

I think that we would make a great pare
Even if she wanted me to, like, wash my hair
More than I want to, like maybe twice a week
Which ain't reely nessesary unlest you are some kinda "clean" freak!

I would do ennything to be her true and only love
Except one or two things like....

like...

Flip! Ferget about that verse. It don't work.

Okay.

I would do ennything so's she could be mine
I would climb Mownt Everist if I had the time
I would even stop smokin'...for a day or two
Just to show her that my love is true

(I would, eh?)

I hope that one day we will be happilly married
And settle down in a nice apartment...maybe in Barrie
Cos I hear that Barrie is a good town fer cops
And if you are married to one, it'd be an okay place to flop.

Decent, eh?

(I hope she gets to read it. I ain't seen her in awhile and it would be cool if she did and it might convinse her to get posted back to Blind River soon.)

I gess maybe I can right poetyr after all. Cool, eh?

Okay.

Roses are red
vilettes are blue
Here is a poem from me to you
It is not the kind of peom you will find in no school
Becoz I did not learn the flippin' golden rule!
I am the man
As anyone can see
I did not get these here looks
From livin' in no flippin' tree
As a matter of fact
And I will say it with pride
I am a flippin' Adontist
Becuase I am a McBride
McBrides are the best
They are my family
We came into this country
From a ways acrost the sea
A long, long time ago
When there was only ships that had sails
Which anyone will know if he ain't, like, a total lunch pail!
And ever since we arrived here
We been drinkin' Canada's great beer
Which is why you will see us
Most nights around ten or eleven
Hoistin' a cool one and stinkin' to high heaven!

And proud of it too, eh?

She is so lyrical
with just the toss of her hair
Desireable in every word
that floats in the air

but I am spherical
white pasty and bland
and cynical
the most cynical in the land

Then she touches me
and I understand
I melt like an icecicle
in la la lava land

It is known by almost no one that Shane (whichever he be) is mentioned by no lesser poet than John ("Big Johnny") Dryden himself:

... Shane alone my perfect image bears,
Mature in dullness from his tender years:
Shane alone, of all my sons, is he
Who stands confirmed in full stupidity.
The rest to some faint meaning make pretence,
But Shane never deviates into sense.
Some beams of wit on other souls may fall,
Strike through, and make a lucid interval;
But Shane's genuine night admits no ray;
His rising fogs prevail upon the day.
Besides, his goodly fabric fills the eye,
And seems designed for thoughtless majesty;
Thoughtless as monarch oaks that shade the plain,
And, spread in solemn state, supinely reign....

POEM ABOUT SHANE 1.

One Shane, two Shane, three Shane, four,
Such a mysterious character, how many more?
He's got a brother called Don and a sister called Shanetta,
But they don't believe her, cos they've never even met her

I think "Shane" had his butt thrown into the slammer for something like "Molesting A Tree" or "Transporting A Beaver For Immoral Purposes," both of which are heavy-duty felonies in Ontario (Manitoba doesn't care). Or the "Shane" has frozen up solid in ice for the Summer. Or both. Or none of the above. Or all of the above.
