Remember Joan in BLOOM COUNTY ?

[Secret Six]

BLOOM COUNTY fans such as myself remember when Berke Breathed "cameoed" Joan as the Punk Rocker Tess Turbo




From Wikipedia

Tess Turbo was a rock star who appeared at the Meadow Party's 1984 benefit concert, (a satirical take on Steve Wozniak's Us Festival) with Opus playing air guitar behind her. One of the comic strips from this time revealed her inner dialogue in which she characterized herself as a "shy, sensitive, withdrawn young woman who likes Smurf dolls, sad rainy days, and silly, romantic poetry."

She appeared in an earlier strip, in which Steve Dallas won a role in her MTV music video. Steve unsuccessfully sued her after all his chest hair was permanently burned off during the making of the video; during the trial, televised on The People's Court, she called Steve a "total jerkface" who deserved everything that he got. Her songs include "Scuzzbucket From Nantucket".

Tess, along with her band "The Blackheads", was a parody of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

Just goes to show Breathed must've been a secret Runaways/Joan Jett Fan and its too bad he did'nt do up Cherie as a BC Character....

However the onyl BC Character that comes close was Opus' one time Gal Pal/Former Fiance Lola Granola who was a Blonde Haired Surfer Chick and Concept Artiste....
