Opus Returns: Berke Breathed Comes Back to Comics

If you were conscious in the early 1980's, you likely read Bloom County, a bizarre and hilarious cartoon strip involving intelligent little kids, frighteningly lifelike adults (complete with phobias and fetishes), and talking animals (one rather sceptic cat (shown) and one confused penguin, among others).

Well, Berkely Breathed, the author of Bloom County is back in the game. In Sunday comics the nation over, Opus Returns appeared in half-page, full-color glory. Check out the website for more info. If you're a fan, you'll be hoping that Milo, Bill the Cat and the rest of the gang come back, at least for tasty cameos.

Ack! Thppfft! (Thanks, Dan)
