[ 책 소개 ]
* An Amazon Best Book of the Year
* New York Times Bestseller
퓰리처상을 수상한 미국의 저명한 카투니스트 Berkeley Breathed이 만든 베스트셀러 그림책입니다.
황량하기 짝이 없는 블룸카운티라는 곳에 살고 있는 빙클리라는 소년은 할 일 없이 먼 곳만 바라보며 외롭게 지내고 있었습니다. 아빠는 빙클리가 외롭지 않도록 반려동물을 구해주기로 하고 동물보호소에 데려갔습니다. 그곳에서 빙클리는 고양이 한마리를 발견하고는 한 눈에 반해서 즉시 둘은 단짝 친구가 되었습니다. 그리고 고양이에게 빌이라고 이름을 지어줬지요.
하지만 고양이 빌은 이미 머나먼 북극 지역에 입양이 결정되어 있었기 때문에, 빙클리와 빌은 만나자마자 이별을 하게 되었어요. 트럭에 실려가는 빌을 애타게 부르는 빙클리... 그런데 지나가던 여행객 오퍼스가 이 장면을 보고는 자신의 친절함을 보여주기 위해 트럭을 세우고는 빌이 북극에서 따뜻하게 지낼 수 있도록 자신의 팬티를 입혀 줬어요
빌이 그렇게 멀리 떠난 후 빙클리는 빌을 잊을 수 없었어요. 눈사람을 만들어도 빌 모양으로 만들었지요. 반면에 빌은 북극을 거쳐 열대지역에서 코끼리 몰이에 이용되기도 하다가 사막지역에 가서 고양이를 신으로 모시는 사람들을 만나게 되고, 그곳에서 사람들의 숭배를 받으며 안락한 싦을 누리게 됩니다. 하지만 지구를 지나가던 외계인이 파이에 넣어서 먹을 저녁거리를 찾다가 빌을 발견하고는 바로 납치해가게 되고...
북극, 아프리카, 사막, 우주를 넘나들면서 우여곡절 끝에 빌과 빙클리가 다시 만나게 되는 여정을 만화 형식의 그림으로 코믹하게 보여줍니다.

Book Desription
An Amazon Best Book of the Year and NY Times bestseller!
The Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of the hilarious “Bloom County” comic strip is back! To help celebrate, here is the first ever Bloom County picture book, featuring fan-favorite Bill the Cat in an origin story. (Ack ack!) The perfect gift for Bloomers old and new.
Almost thirty-five years ago Berkeley Breathed launched a little-known yet laugh-inducing comic strip called “Bloom County” that was full of characters who instantly entered the public consciousness–none more so than Opus (the penguin) and Bill the Cat. Bloom County’s popularity soared, it was soon syndicated nationally, had millions of daily readers, and before long its creator was awarded a Pulitzer Prize. Then, nine years later, “Bloom County” sadly came to a close. It had simply ceased being fun for Berkeley Breathed.
Now, more than twenty-five years after it ended, “Bloom County” has returned in full force and humor online, with an ever-growing fanbase every bit as zealous as it was in the strip’s heyday. For the comic’s youngest fans, and for those who never stopped wishing for its return, here is an all-new, kid-friendly story for anyone who ever wanted to know the origin story of Bill the Cat. “Bloom County” has never been more fun!
School Library Journal
Binkley is a lonely kid who instantly falls in love with a cat; unfortunately for him, though, his pet happens to be the brainless Bill the Cat. Modern audiences might not understand that Bill the Cat and his friend Opus the Penguin come from the old comic strip Bloom County; this may alienate some, but a deep understanding of the characters isn't necessary to enjoy the story. Bill is then quickly taken away from Binkley, leaving the boy to pine for his friend while his cat goes on an epic journey. Full-page scenes depicting Bill's many adventures, from leading his cat sled team to herding a group of elephants, certainly make the book. Brightly colored and detailed and drawn in Breathed's signature style, the images will delight fans and newcomers alike. With Opus reuniting Bill with his boy, Breathed focuses on the warmth of his characters and wackiness of the tale rather than on the satire of most of his comics. VERDICT Probably more enjoyable for adults than for kids, this title is an additional purchase.-Peter Blenski, Greenfield Public Library, WI
Booklist
