Is it true…possibly…hopefully…God help us we could use an injection of Opus and Bill T Catt. From Aint it cool…yes yes I know…but even the glimmer of hope makes me want to dance nekkid in the dandelions The linkage to the rumor in question > **[Berkeley Breathed's OPUS is returning to a new syndicated newspaper strip AND...](http://legacy.aintitcool.com/node/15965)** > > Hey folks, Harry here I have glorious news for you. The other day while driving around Austin, this freakish Orange cat darted in front of my car becoming certain roadkill. Only, this was no ordinary feline, it was one of them cartoon cats.... So…we could in fact have a new Sunday strip and a possible movie? Sunday strip is good enough for me…the comics are practically a wasteland. Berke for gods sake…confirm or deny!!! ---

The scary thing is that you could recycle most of the old **Bloom County** strips from 1988-1992, and they’d be applicable today. 😉 ---

☹ My favorite penguin is Hoboken/Playboy, the diminutive top-hatted runaway from a New Jersey circus who cried ice-cube tears until Bugs Bunny took pity on him in the Warner Brothers cartoons “8 Ball Bunny” and “Frigid Hare.” ---

BAH! Everyone line up…I have weighted down the burlap sack with 4 brass dorrknobs and shall commence with the heavy sack beatings forthwith. You shall not take my good feelings away with your discussion on hammy actors, really bad beer, a appropriately named doper, and a goofball relic from the WB. I shall be using sidearm tonight… ---
