	Berkeley Breathed \| The A.V. Club
		From its 1980 inception, Breathed changed hats on a regular basis: He was intermittently a political cartoonist, calling attention to feminist issues, SDI, cosmetic testing on animals, and pork-barrel politics.
		In 1989, Breathed made national news when he announced he was ending Bloom County--a virtually unheard-of career move in an industry where successful cartoonists, once safely ensconced with a syndicate, typically kept doggedly producing the same strip until their deaths.
		Breathed recently finished his directorial debut, an eight-minute animated adaptation of Edwurd Fudwupper, produced by Nickelodeon; it was completed too late to be screened with Rugrats In Paris: The Movie, as Nickelodeon intended, and its fate has yet to be decided.

	washingtonpost.com: Opus the Penguin Back In the Funny Business
		After eight years away from newspapers, Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Berkeley Breathed is creating a new comic strip called "Opus," starring his beloved penguin of the same name.
		Breathed drew the wildly popular "Bloom County" and "Outland" comic strips, which introduced the world to the naive Opus and his hairball-spitting sidekick, Bill the Cat.
		Breathed has lamented the state of modern newspaper cartooning, which has had to deal with papers fitting more and more comics into a smaller and smaller space.

	The penguin is mightier than the sword - Salon
		In an indication of the reader appeal Breathed is still believed to command, he has demanded (and received) guarantees that each newspaper running the strip will give him half a page in the comics section, something no cartoonist has received since Bill Watterson retired "Calvin and Hobbes."
		He regularly broke the fourth wall (or, in this case, the fifth panel), as when his characters threatened to strike if their space on the page was shrunk again.
		Since retiring "Outland," the reclusive Breathed has devoted his time to fatherhood, work on his children's books, and various other projects.

		Breathed wrote a children's book titled "A Wish for Wings That Work," which starred Opus the penguin, in a Christmas story.
		Breathed, who now lives in Santa Barbara with his wife and two children, has tended toward the reclusive artist stereotype, eschewing the spotlight and granting few interviews.
		While Breathed became known for his "liberal, schmiberal" views, at the core of the strip is an underlying belief in traditional values — home, motherhood and herring pie.

		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.

	Radley Balko on Bloom County on National Review Online
		Breathed had written a strip which included — merely for decoration — a photocopied portrait of Nancy Reagan.
		What's clear is that over the course of his cartooning career, Breathed's politics drifted from conventional liberalism toward a pronounced respect for individual rights, individual responsibility, and distrust for power — be it state, corporate, or otherwise.
		Indeed, in a 2001 interview with The Onion A.V. Club, Breathed said of his politics, "What remains the same as now, however, is the frustration at the continuing path the world seems to be on in avoiding lessons about accountability.

		Berke began the evening by commenting that usually book signings begin with a reading from the selected book, yet reading from a book of comic strips is foolhardy.
		There were a million things I could have said, and I could have kept him there all night, but when it came down to my minute, I couldn't resist choosing to tell him his ironic his comment was and that I was going to be the one to make teenagers work.
		I had an ulterior motive the moment I walked in: to somehow get Berkeley Breathed to draw Mulberry.
