| 8. Opus creator, Berkeley Breathed |
|
from Wikipedia: "His first regularly published strip was The Academia Waltz, which appeared in the Daily Texan in 1978. The strip attracted the notice of the editors of the Washington Post who recruited him to do a nationally syndicated strip. On December 8, 1980, Bloom County made its debut, and featured some of the characters from Academia Waltz, including former frat-boy Steve Dallas and the paralyzed Vietnam war veteran Cutter John. In the beginning, the strip's style was so close to that of another popular strip, Doonesbury, that creator Garry Trudeau wrote to Breathed several times to point out the similarities. Breathed has acknowledged that he borrowed liberally from Doonesbury in his early career. In the Outland collection One Last Little Peek, Breathed even puts an early Bloom County side-by-side with the Doonesbury it obviously took its idea from. Trudeau has also criticized Breathed for copying other cartoonists' works..."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Breathed |

Wow. That's eerie - the day Lennon was murdered. I loved "Bloom County" and "Opus" is nearly as good, but not quite.

He generally knocks them out of the park.
