Did Anyone Else see Opus this morning?
It is just hysterical. Opus in his bed with Bill sticking out the other end. And the huge "anxiety" in the closet.

That has to be my all time favorite cartoon - his drawings are so wonderful.

And then there is the little horse in Nonsequiter. And Get Fuzzy.

Those guys just make my day. And if you are one of them and see this - THANKYOU.

1. Oh yes...
All three made me laugh, but Get Fuzzy was priceless!

2. Get Fuzzy is just the best
We only get Opus on Sunday - but we have Get Fuzzy everyday. And Nonsequiter.

But what I like about Opus is those drawings. Everywhere you look there is some little tucked away thing.

4. I think OPUS is a Sunday-only strip
Bloom County and Outland were daily strips, but Opus is run once a week.

9. Get Fuzzy fat out rules
Get Fuzzy this morning just about killed.

And Doonesbury was in top form. The 'Red State' slam was precise and dead on.

Comic strips that need to be nuked:

Prick(ly) City
Mallard Fillmore

3. Hi Opus fans
I'm new here, and I am so glad to have him back. It is one of my all time favorite cartoons.

5. I don't take newspapers anymore
Is there a way to view this on-line? I love Berkely Breathed and his comics, plus I have some of his children books.

10. Love them. Others I like are:
9 Chickweed lane.

And Over The Hedge. At first I thought it was a rip off of Pogo, but now I am hooked. todays is very good.

For Better Or Worse is an excellent strip.

11. Can't stand Prickly City
This is a really lame right wing strip. Nothing but pointless partisan Democrat/Liberal bashing with no real connection to the characters. Kind of like Mallard Fillmore.
