| | 'Opus' the penguin returns to The News on Sunday - 11/22/03 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | DETROIT -- With his big beak and round physique, Opus the penguin wooed the readers of print comics "Bloom County" and "Outland." After disappearing from newspapers in 1995, Opus and his Pulitzer Prize-winning creator, artist Berkeley Breathed, will return to papers Sunday. |
 | | Unlike past cartoons where Opus was involved with a cast of characters, the new series, named "Opus," is all penguin. |
 | | The new cartoon will be featured each Sunday in 170 papers, including The Detroit News, and will take up a full half page of space to allow Breathed more room for detail, says Alan Shearer, editorial director/general manager at the Washington Post Writers Group, the company syndicating the new cartoons. |
