Tim Long, the longtime producer and writer on The Simpsons, has been named the showrunner and co-writer on Bloom County. The animated series is based on Berkeley Breathed’s 1980s comic strip and is being developed at Fox.

Bloom County follows a struggling lawyer, a lobotomized cat, and an immigrant penguin who live in a boarding house in the world’s most forgotten place. The comic strip originally appeared in The Daily Texan student newspaper, then it was nationally syndicated in the Washington Post from 1980 to ’89. Breathed restarted the strip on Facebook in 2015.

Long has been a writer-producer on The Simpsons for over 20 years, and has shared in 14 Emmy nominations and five wins for the series. He was also a writer on Politically Incorrect, The Late Show with David Letterman, and The Exchange.

Long and Breathed will co-write the TV adaptation and both are also executive producing the project. Fox Entertainment will serve as the animation studio, and Bento Box Entertainment, Miramax, Spyglass Media Group, and Project X Entertainment are producing the project.
