Goodbye, Opus.

Opus is leaving the building.

This time, it's for good.

Berkeley Breathed, the cartoonist who brought us Bloom County, Outland, and Opus is retiring again. He plans to pursue other interests, such as writing books and screenplays.

I was a huge fan of Bloom County, although I admit that once Outland and especially Opus came out, I had stopped reading the Sunday Comics. (because I stopped getting the Sunday paper. Not because I wanted to stop reading comics!)

here's an article about Breathed's retirement on sfgate.com.

Goodbye, dear Opus. Thanks for all the laughs!
