TK Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 http://discuss.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/zforum/03/r_style_cartoon112103.htm Comics: Meet the Artist Berke Breathed Cartoonist, "Opus" Friday, November 21, 2003; 1:00 p.m ET After a mysterious 10-year absence, America's favorite penguin is back. Pulitzer Prize-winnnig cartoonist Berkely Breathed brings "Opus" back to the comics pages on Sunday, Nov. 23. On Breathed's Web site, only this cryptic message explains the sudden and unexpected return: "We can't, at this time, go into detail as to what he's been doing during his mysterious missing decade, although Opus is deeply embarrassed about the rumors, especially the one naming him as the catalyst behind the unfortunate break-up of J Lo and Ben. It will all become clear soon." Breathed will join Post Comics page editor Suzanne Tobin online Friday, Nov. 21 at 1 p.m. ET to discuss his new cartoon, his past cartoons ("Bloom County," "Outland"), and just where exactly Opus has been hiding.

Man, I forgot all about that. I think I may still have it packed away somewhere. Wasn't it square shaped & came in one of the books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 That's the one. It was from the book "Billy and the Boingers" I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted November 18, 2003 Author Share Posted November 18, 2003 There's nothing like the sounds of a "Heavy Metal Rythem Tuba" I still believe that Axl Rose stole his look from Front Man Bill The Cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just skins baby Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 That is going to be so cool!!! I've got the record right here, "I'm a Boinger" by S Dallas and side 2 is U-Stink-But-I-Love-U by B. Catt. That was the weirdest, funniest comic and probably the reason I picked up a newspaper every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
