My beloved employer has re-defined company policies on tracking their “diverse workforce” to include women. Because of this I have an unquenchable urge to find a copy of a specific Berkeley Breathed’s *Bloom County *comic strip and post it on my cube wall.
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the series where Santa was caught up in a labor dispute? At one point the Elves are negotiating for changes in hiring a more gender diverse workforce to improve employee moral. “Hire some broads” says one, “**Short **broads” says another. Eventually the federal government intervenes and fires all the elves, replacing them with out of work air traffic controllers.
I think it was early in the Bloom County run, maybe 'Toons for Our Times?
I could be overlooking the series but I can’t find it in there, Penguin Dreams and Stranger Things, Bloom County Babylon, Billy and the Boingers Bootleg, nor Tales Too Ticklish to Tell.
I do know the series you’re referring to so I’ve seen it somewhere…
I think it was in Loose Tails.

Thank you all very much!
