‘Opus’ creator to retire from comic strips
--some site somewhere.

1. Thank CHRIST.
2. This better not be a massive tease like Lynne Thingie's 'retirement.'

ETA:

Why yes, I read cleolinda's linkspam, why do you ask?

Good. Always hated his crap.

...I like Opus

But, yeah, Heroes=derivative.
cleolinda's linkspam is the highlight of my day.

Sorry, that article is a mistake. I think the title is supposed to be "What Hereos is NOT Derivative From, Lists Executive Producer."

I love it anyway. Slyer is so cute with his Epic Eyebrows.

He's one of the few people I've seen who have thicker eyebrows than I do. :)

Man. That time you got your eyebrows caught in the car door, and Mary started to drive off, thinking you were in the car already? Scariest goddamned thing I ever saw.

Yes, but they did come in handy when we needed a quick rope to escape the lava pit just outside Lansing.

He started out funny, a long, long time ago... and then he went all Steve Dallas and Opus-in-Underwear and completely lost me.

He jumped the shark for me with Outland. Abysmal.

Ditto. LOVE the old stuff, though.

That Heroes thing got even funnier when I clicked on the link and found out that the producer saying this was Jeph Loeb.

Man, Opus dude, what happened? Bloom County was good and I read Opus for a while, until I noticed that he was recycling jokes from the former title. Bad cartoonist, bad!
