Moody (Red, White and) Blues Opus

Even though Berke(ley) Breathed retired the comic strip many years ago now I've long remained a fan of Bloom County. Back at the height of its popularity I got a small stuffed Opus and placed him in proximity to my PC. To this day he sits perched atop one of my speakers. Despite his being "fairly liberal minded" (see species info further below), I noticed from day one that physically he tended to lean to the right. Ironically, the one thing I found to help his condition is for him to hold a U.S. flag in his left arm...


For whatever reason, today I picked up the accompanying species info card and re-read it. I'd forgotten that he was such a big Moody Blues fan...



Of course, Opus is back in print these days starring in his own self-titled sundays-only strip. This past weekend's was particularly good, I thought. Please visit this comics.com Opus page to view it. (Eventually that link will likely stop working, so if/when that happens try here instead.)

Updated Dec. 17: Yesterday's Opus strip (alternate long-term link here) continued the wordplay theme begun the previous week as linked to immediately above.
