Opus Is Dead: The Comic Strip


First it was King of the Hill and now it's Opus, the comic strip. It appeared for the last time today, but the final destiny of the beloved penguin's 'final paradise' had to wait for the Humane Society to update its website.

It is an interesting strategy for Berkeley Breathed, who started the Sunday Comic strip on paper, many years ago. I thought he would wind up with the Peanuts comic strip character "Snoopy", considering all the comic's references to Peanuts and a recent appearance at the Charles Schulz Museum.

For those who aren't familiar with Opus - Opus the Penguin (Opus T. Penguin) is a character in the comic strips and children's books of Berkeley Breathed, most notably the popular 1980s strip Bloom County. Breathed has described him as an "existentialist penguin" and the favorite of his many characters. Until November 2, 2008 he ran in the comic strip Opus.
