Portnoy is a character in Berke Breathed 's Comic Strip Bloom County . Portnoy was one of the critters that could talk, and was often surly mouthed and Bigot ed, usually leading Hodge-Podge , his best friend, to have to cover his mouth. When Bill The Cat became a Televangelist denouncing " Penguin lust", Portnoy helped run Opus The Penguin out of town.

For years, Portnoy changed physically a lot through the strip, sometimes into an entirely different animal. It was also unknown what Species he was, sometimes a Squirrel , a Possum , or a Gopher . Finally he was revealed as a Groundhog , which he had hidden because Hodge didn't associate with "pigs". Eventually the two made up.
