VEGETABLE RIGHTS AND PEACE!

 

TURNIPS! TURNIPS AND ANTI-FREEZE!

 

Hey!

I still have a collection of about 8 Opus stuffed animals around here somewhere, maybe I'll go dig them up...

 

I loved Bloom County when I was in college. I painted a giant mural w/ all of the figures on the end hall wall in my Freshman dorm building.

Loved Opus- I was always so sad that the comic's creator stopped writing it. I guess there are only so many Charles Schultz's out there today

 

a) There's a new Opus comic (definite) and movie (possible) headed our way.
b) "Bloomers! Blossoms! Bosoms! Boppers!"

"Long live the glorious, proletariat, cockroach revolution!"
//SLAM
"Medic!"

 

I love Bloom County! One of the best strips ever in my opinion. It was so bitingly funny while really having substance to the characters. I seriously don't think I've ever read a Bloom County strip that didn't make me laugh out loud.

A few of my all time favorite strips:

Ack! Ack! Ack!
Put the cat out mom, it's a thermonuclear bomb.


That was one great set of comics, and funny too!

 

"No, it's a completely functional thermonuclear device. I scraped off the bioluminescence from a thousand glow-in-the-dark watches!"
"No joke?"
"No joke. Boom."
//CLAPS HANDS... "Okay people, fire drill!"

 

Dp, do you have a link regarding the new Opus strip?

I would love more info!!

Because while Bloom County was supreme, Outland was....much less so...

Movie, I assume cartoon or would it be live action Scobby Doo hybrid?

 

Ah Opus strip??? Woohoo! I love Opus! Katya the "Hairy Fishnuts" is classic

 

I'm looking on Berkeley Breathed's website but see nothing about an Opus comic. dp where is that info?

Opus information on Ain't It Cool

That's great news!!

Bill has always been willing to spill the beans if you got him drunk enough. In fact, he would have made an excellent world leader (if only he had won that election...)

I'm glad that the movie plans call for a completely animated route..and you can't go wrong with Aladdin...

 

I always loved Bloom County. I still have a book around here that was my sister's. I wish they'd republish them. One strip I loved was one where Opus goes into a McDonalds to ask if they plan on making penguin McNuggets and the guy at the counter says "McNope! McMaybe McLater!".

 

Bloom County is easily the greatest comic strip ever. I have all of the Breathed's collections and still pull them out and still laugh like I did back then.


BTW, Im pretty sure that the Opus movie is confirmed.

 

I can't wait to see the new ones when they come out. Anyone have any information on them?

 

I'm so excited! I love Opus. I love Opus! I LOVE OPUS!

My freshman year in college I painted a huge Bloom County mural in my freshman dorm walls. If I can scrounge up the photos I'll post them here

 

Hey Party People,

Thanks for your post. Love 'ya.

VEGETABLE RIGHTS AND PEACE!

 

"Two Dips and a Dad!"

Also loved the one where the kid is afraid of the monster in his closet and urges his dad to check it. Dad declares he will spank kid after he checks it. Opens closet. Huge horned purple monster swallows Dad. Last panel shows purple monster peering out of closet at kid cowering in his bed. Kid says something like: "This is kind of a mixed blessing."

 

It's official! On the Berk Breathed site Opus is returning on November 23rd- MY BIRTHDAY!

Here

Thanks Berk for that fantabulous present!

BTW I was at a Salvation Army last weekend and found 3 stuffed Opuses - all new looking that I just had to rescue. One's really cute- he's a founder of the Dandylion preservation society and is wearing a safari hat and holding a dandylion. I love Opus.

Now if I can only find all of my Bloom County books....

 

Thank you for making an Opus thread!
I LOVE Opus!
