It appears that Berkeley Breathed is retiring Opus.

I grew up with Bloom County and Opus. As a kid, I didn't always understand some of the more subtle aspects, but I liked Opus. His anxiety closet has always been an amusing visualization of our own inner fears.
One of my favority cartoons is A Wish for Wings that Work. I have an ancient VCR tape from an occasion when it aired on TV. A quick Amazon search shows me that it is available on DVD, so I will need to add that to my wish list. I am still amused thinking about the meeting of the "cross-dressing cockroaches in crisis". :)
Farewell old friend. May you find lots of herrings and buxom women waiting for you.

Iʼm going to miss Opus to. Itʼs been one of my favorite Sunday strips over the past 5 years. Thank goodness I still have my PublicWorksComics: www.PublicWorksComics.com or Iʼd be even more depressed!
