Berkeley Breathed- the new Gary Trudeau?
If you follow the new "Opus" comics, you'll know B. B. has been doing some subtle cutting edge political commentary. His aim is perfect, and his humor is WAY too subtle for the freepers.

I think Berkeley Breathed is back big time.

He's awesome and I am glad to see him attacking the establishment.

4. Breathed is good
He can be great, and he can be preachy - but when he's hot he's very good.

10. Love it, love it, love it!
Opus is GREAT! BB is great. He speaks the truth, it's out there to see, and I always love his strips. We need more like him, many more. We absolutely need to turn this country around, and get rid of the neocons, the fascists, and the fundies.

11. It got dropped from our local paper.
The Star Tribune in Minneapolis.

I've never understood why.

They're running re-runs of "Calvin and Hobbes" in its place. Now I love C&H, but still don't understand why some other strip couldn't have gotten cut instead.

12. They're probably scared of it
Edited on Sat Oct-08-05 09:50 PM by Prisoner_Number_Six
Opus has been pretty much in-your-face about what's going on. They probably decided between moving it to the political section or cancelling it. Kinda like "Boondocks".
