This is a reference to the air traffic controllers strike in the 80s. Reagan fired them.

  Stay tuned for tomorrow’s strip. I seem to recall they are referenced directly.

    I believe you are correct.
    
    But I figured someone would be wondering what was going through Breathed’s mind with this one. :)

Hello fellow Bloom County fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.

Bloom County is an American comic strip by Berkeley Breathed which originally ran from December 8, 1980, until August 6, 1989. It examined events in politics and culture through the viewpoint of a fanciful small town in Middle America, where children often have adult personalities and vocabularies and where animals can talk. On July 12, 2015, Breathed started drawing Bloom County again. The first revived strip was published via Facebook on July 13, 2015… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_County
