The penguin is mightier than the sword

Woohoo!

"Bloom County" cartoonist Berkeley Breathed talks about
bringing Opus back to the nation's comics page to rip Garfield (and
maybe George Bush) a new one.

Q: Last we heard from you, via the Onion interview a
few years back, the odds of you ever doing a strip again seemed pretty
slim (to put it mildly). What changed?
The world went and got silly again. I left in 1995 with things
properly, safely dull, and couldn't imagine why anyone would feel it
necessary again to start behaving ridiculously. It would have been at
least courteous of the Republicans to warn a few of us inclined to
retire our ink-swords that they had King George waiting in his
zoom-zoom jetsuit aching to start the Crusades again.
