Perhaps this has already been mentioned here, and I missed it, but the Opus, the penguin protagonist of Bloom County and Outland, will be returning after a sabbatical of nearly ten years. The first url has a link to lists of papers that will run it.

The first strip runs Nov. 23.

Cool. I loved Bloom County when I was a kid (tho’ Outland sucked). The Detroit News is going to carry the new strip, so I’ll be sure to pick up the November 23rd edition and check it out.
