Friday picture:
(In case you don't recognize this picture, it is of Opus the Penguin, the main character of Berkeley Breathed's 1980s comic strip "Bloom County" ... which was over my head during its publication, but in the late 1990s, due to my brother, for some reason, owning a book containing every BC strip from 1986-1989, I had the pleasure of enjoying the mature, multi-layered humor and the nostalgia of the strip, given that it was utterly entrenched in the socio-cultural millieu of the "me" decade. Along with Rocky & Bullwinkle, Cathy, the cartoons of Jules Feiffer and Peanuts, Bloom County makes the case that comics can be serious (and seriously funny) art ...)
