	Note to Berke Breathed: Stop Opus Now. Please.
		I admire Breathed for his desire to move in a different direction, but it did not work and he realized that.
		Berke's complaints with daily strips are legion — no room for creativity, too hard to read, etc. But it's time to rethink the "creativity" freeform Sunday strips he and Bill Watterson fought so hard for, too.
		So I'm asking the publisher and Berke Breathed to euthanize this addition to the Bloom County "franchise." It was practically stillborn as it is, but investing time and energy into something so devoid of the greatness its creator once had is pointless.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Bloom County
		Berke Breathed's first comic strip, Academia Waltz, appeared in The Daily Texan, the student newspaper of the University of Texas at Austin during 1978 and '79.
		Breathed repeated his earlier schtick of carrying over some characters — in fact, before long, he'd imported a large portion of the Bloom County cast.
		Perhaps Breathed is right about aging comic strips — but by cancelling Bloom County when he did, he has absolutely ensured the aging of his own strip.

		Eventually, Breathed says he "grew weary of looking for the negative in everything," and concentrated instead on other projects, including a less-demanding spinoff Sunday-only strip Outland, published collections of his early strips and a string of children's picture books.
		There are 8 million copies in print of Breathed's 19 books, and he has signed a Hollywood deal to bring Opus to the big screen, a project still in development.

		It is this America that Berke Breathed took a snapshot of, and is thus preserved for the ages within the pages of this, the sixth collection of Bloom County comic strips (covering late 1986 through virtually all of '87).
		Breathed is a great cartoonist in general, but his political satire is without equal.

		We can't, at this time, go into detail as to what he's been doing during his mysterious missing decade, although Opus is deeply embarrassed about the rumors, especially the one naming him as the catalyst behind the unfortunate break-up of J Lo and Ben.
		Fortunately, this Washington Post discussion with Breathed suggests he's still got game -- which is to say, he's still got the refined sense of whimsy that made Bloom County a must read when it was around.
		It was a pleasant surprise and the strip was droll.

		(AP) Cartoonist Berkeley Breathed is resurrecting Opus the penguin from the 1980s comic strip "Bloom County" for a new series to appear in Sunday comics this November.
		A 1987 Pulitzer Prize-winner for editorial cartooning, Breathed stopped drawing the daily "Bloom County" in 1989 when it was running in nearly 1,300 papers.
		Partly chalking it up to artistic burnout, Breathed said at the time that cartoonists "die and go to cartoon hell for working beyond that magic intersection of art and fun."
