Berkeley Breathed has a new children’s book out, Edwurd Fudwupper Fibbed Big. Since ceasing production of his Bloom County and Outland strips, Breathed has been creating amusing tales in the children’s picture book format. This latest one lists a web site, but it is under construction. He also gives a big thanks to President Bill Clinton for daily inspiration. Look at the title of the book and you’ll figure out why. I always miss having the Bloom County perspective on current events. But I suppose a reunion TV movie is out of the question. It’s almost too easy to make fun of politicians these days. Pulling out subtle, yet hearty, humor from big targets is something Bloom County excelled at. My favorite quote from Berke Breathed: “what seems funny to a sleep-deprived brain at 4:00 A.M. often reads as merely hallucinogenic when laid down on the sober newsprint of a newspaper comic page. This may explain my initial popularity on college campuses around the country.”
