garylian writes "Berkley Breathed has announced that he has drawn the final comic containing the greatest penguin ever, Opus. http://www.yahoo.com/s/967474 The author is now going to write children's books.

For those of you in your mid-30's and older, you remember Bloom County as a staple of the comic pages in a similar time frame as Calvin & Hobbes, and that time was probably the greatest the daily/Sunday comics have ever known.

From running for the vice presidency to impersonating Michael Jackson, from gracing a ton of t-shirts to being one of the weirdest stuffed animals ever, from rocking in a heavy metal band "Billy and the Boingers" to cleaning up Bill's hair balls, Opus was perfect for that time. And Bloom County wound have been perfect during the Bush 2 years.

Now, I'm going to pull out all my old Bloom County books and read them. After I dig through some boxes and find my old Opus dolls. I wonder what my kids are going to think of them."
