By all accounts, I'm reading that it's next Sunday.

Some other facts from this article:

Breathed is writing and directing the "Opus" movie, so I guess the guy hired to write it that I posted up in the Lounge a week or so ago.

Mallard Fillmore's artist/writer is Indiana based!!! AARRRRGH!

Mr. Breathed's 'Opus' returns to comics

After eight years away from newspapers, Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Berkeley Breathed is creating a new comic strip called "Opus," starring his beloved penguin of the same name.

The new strip will appear on Sundays in The Star and many other newspapers starting Nov. 23.

Breathed drew the popular "Bloom County" and "Outland" comic strips, which introduced the world to the naive Opus and his hairball-spitting sidekick, Bill the Cat. "Opus" will run on Sundays only in the comics section.

Since leaving the world of newspaper comics, Breathed has written children's books, including "Goodnight Opus" and the upcoming "Flawed Dogs." He sold the rights to a movie about Opus to Dimension Films. The movie will be written and directed by Breathed, and could start filming before the end of the year.
