I mentioned a while back that Berkeley Breathed was going to revisit Opus and theoretically parts of Bloom County in a new Sunday only comic strip. Lo and behold this happened. The intial results were somewhat uneven and didn’t seem quite as funny as I had expected. However, the strip that appeared on Sunday, March 28th, where Opus considers the youthful drooping pants style and debates with his better angels of his nature.

This strip for me recaptured the pure pleasure of the 80′s Bloom County. It was a funny commentary on modern life that was, for lack of a better term, naive and sweet, while still being able to keep a deft comedic edge. I sincerely hope that this is going to be the norm for this new cartoon.

I can’t seem to find an on-line image, but it’s posted on the cupboard at home and my office door at work.
