OPUS LIVES

Daniel Drezner has several links in celebration of the return of Berke Breathed’s “Opus” today. (Hat tip: Glenn Reynolds)

The strip appeared in the print edition of WaPo today but is not available online there or at any of the usual syndicate websites. Indeed, my copy arrived yesterday (WaPo delivers the Sunday inserts on Saturdays). Let’s just say the debut strip wasn’t worth the ten year wait. Indeed, it was much more remniscent of “Outland,” which I never cared for, than “Bloom County,” which I consider an all-time classic.

    Wow, I loved it. Although Bloom County was better than Outland, Opus is Opus is Opus!

    Sadly, it did not appear in the Advertiser.

  3. I despise the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel right now. They print racist crap like Boondocks and OLD Far Side strips, but no Opus.

    Very strange indeed. One would think that’d been an instant add.
