Another Serendipitous Occasion

Last week on Friendster, out of simple nostalgia, I put Opus the penguin, Bill the cat and Steve Dallas, attorney at law in the "Who I want to meet" section. I never expected Berkeley Breathed to respond. I figured he was probably liberating chinchillas with PETA. But Opus has indeed returned. Not Bloom County, just Opus, but I can still cross my fingers. I think I read the books about 10 times. Eventually I moved on to young adult fiction (a genre elaborated strictly for the enjoyment of the last three girls in 8th grade to need a bra), but it still comes up in my head all the time. I actually just quoted it in an e-mail last night. Solon, the term "pinko punk" is not my own.
