Opus Returns!

The short of it: A new weekly comic strip by Berke Breathed called "Opus," beginning November 23.
Now "Outland" was a mess, so I cannot say with great certainty that the return of Mr. Breathed to the funny pages will be a success. But given the overall quality of the comics of late, this is welcome news. Never mind that Breathed lamented not having an outlet for his opinions last spring when the war in Iraq began.
Now if we could only find Bill Watterson - a writer even more reclusive than Breathed - while we're at it.
