By Sally Kalson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Opus," the cartoon penguin liberals love and conservatives love to hate, is about to sail into the Antarctic sunset.
Berkeley Breathed, Opus' creator, is ending his comic strip career to concentrate on children's books. The last "Opus" strip will appear Nov. 2. Readers will be invited this Sunday to go to berkeleybreathed.com to guess the location of the penguin's "final paradise." A cash prize is implied but not specified.
"I'm destroying the village to save it," Breathed wrote in an e-mail sent late Monday to the Los Angeles Times. "Opus would inevitably become a ranting mouthpiece in the coming wicked days. ... The Michael Moore part of me would kill the part of him that was important to his fans."
Sally Kalson can be reached at skalson@post-gazette.com or 412-263-1610.

SR: Well I'm neither fully Liberal or Conservative but I loved the wry commentary offered by Opus the Huge Nosed Penguin and such memorable characters as Steve Dallas the hapless Babe Magnet and Bill the Cat....
Loved every time I opened the funnies and read the latest tales from Bloom County and collected all the Trade Paperbacks such as TALES TOO TICKLISH TO TELL...
Opus....it's been fun 
And how many BV members have a stuffed Opus sitting on their PC, Coffee Table, or tucked away in storage ?  |
