Bobbi Harlow

Bobbi Harlow is a fictional character in Berke Breathed's comic strip Bloom County.

Their suspicions turn to outrage when she brings her left-wing, radical feminist politics into the classroom, such as having the students wear gas masks in case "the fascists" (or, as the children called them, "fishes") tear gassed them, throwing fake blood at "the war mongers" ("war monkeys" in kid-speak) and teaching them about women's liberation.

Bobbi originally starts dating Steve Dallas, but is swept off her feet (figuratively and literally) by Cutter John.

As the strip began to focus more on children and animal characters (with the notable exception of Steve), there was less room for Bobbi.

Bobbi Harlow's last appearance in the original Bloom County was in a 1988 Sunday strip, where it was revealed that she had joined the staff of Donahue in 1983, and then shaved her head in despair over the failure of the Equal Rights Amendment, and cut off her right ear after Geraldine Ferraro's unsuccessful vice-presidential campaign.
