Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for November 15, 2009

That is the greatest pick up line that I have ever heard.

I think she’s kinda cute. Good on ya, Opus!

Oh, what a sweet penguin!

Opus, you mad romancer, you! How sweet!

If she’s letting a penguin hit on her she has to be having a real self-esteem problem. The next thing you know she’ll be having drinks with Steve Dallas.

Flattery will get you everywhere.

I like the way Breathed was able to slip in a comment about mediocre celebrities.

One more drink oughta do it.

Opus could always find the inner light shining from people. That’s what made him Opus.

I had her.

If I tried to give my wife a compliment similar to the one Opus gave, she would tell me “Stop giving me a bunch of baloney!” Sigh

Somehow, my wife is both terrifyingly bright, enough to see right through my bull, and at the same time, loving enough to put up with it. Twenty-five years (twenty-seven since we met), still twitterpated.

Go, Opus!

I guess this again proves that people judge others as themselves but it saddens me to see someone sully the simple compassionate act of comforting another being with projections of their own moral impoverishment. Opus does not have a hidden agenda bone in his body. Yes, celecca, that is what makes Opus Opus.
