Beginning on Oct. 12, 1986, the now out-of-print comic strip Bloom County introduced a new character called Rosebud the Basselope, a creature part basset hound, part antelope. Running gags included basselopes love for Pop Tarts and the desire of the US military to use basselopes as ridiculous weapons in satire of Reagan's SDI, also known as "Star Wars." It would later be revealed that Rosebud was, in fact, a female after the Congressional ruling that all-male clubs were unconstitutional in a run in 1988. The character would continue to be a part of the comic strip until its end in 1989.
