There's an interesting post over on Websnark pointing out that the washington post are the people who actually own the syndicate that run Opus and so the decision to pull it might have been a bit of a publicity stunt.

Hmm, ya think? Because god knows there's nothing else interesting about Opus.

Berke Breathed is a perfect example of someone who had it, lost it, and ain't never getting it back. What's more is that he seems blissfully unware of this, still fatuating arrogantly whenever he opens his mouth and fully confident that his doo-doo don't stink.

Berke, that was 25 years ago.

And he insists on being called "Berkeley" now because "berk" is considered an unflattering term in certain countries that are not America. I say, if the shoe fits...
