A comic in Bloom
Bloom County was one of, if not the first, serial strips that I enjoyed when I was reading comics. I'm not a Sunday subscriber, but this may help spur at least one sale of the Sunday paper.
The Opus interview
MSNBC: So what motivated you to return to the comic strip biz? The money?
Opus: Who says there's money in comics? Besides I invested in herring futures and did quite well. I'm just happy to work with old friends again.
MSNBC: So the other "Bloom County" characters are coming back?
Opus: Some of the old cast for sure, but I hear the negotiations with Bill are not going well. He got a raw deal the first time around: he was paid per word, and all he usually said was "Ack!" and "Thppt!"
Having enjoyed "Bloom County" and I hope "Opus" runs along the same vein, it'll be good to see Berkeley and Opus back in action.
