I dreamed I saw Opus last night,Alive as you or meSays I, “But Ope, you’re ten years dead,”“I never died,” says he.“I never died,” says he.“In Bloom County, Ope,” says I to him,Him standing by my bed,“They cancelled your comic strip,”Says Ope, “But I ain’t dead,”Says Ope, “But I ain’t dead.”“The editors killed you, Ope,They dropped you, Ope,” says I.“Takes more than ink to kill a toon,”Says Ope, “I didn’t die,”Says Ope, “I didn’t die.”And standing there as big as lifeAnd smiling with his eyesSays Ope, “What they forgot to killWent on to Comic Con,Went on to Comic Con.”“The Penguin ain’t dead,” he says to me,“The penguin ain’t never died.Where new toons are badly drawnBloom County will be rerun,Bloom County will be rerun.”From Firefox up to IE,In every Mac and Android -Where working men slack off at jobsIt’s there you’ll find Bloom County.It’s there you’ll find Bloom County.I dreamed I saw Opus last night,Alive as you or meSays I, “But Ope, you’re ten years dead”,“I never died,” says he.“I never died,” says he.
Exiting news on facebook everyone. Yesterday on Berkeley’s page someone asked to bring back Bloom County and Berkeley actually replied and said “Stay tuned” Ya think it could be?!!!!
Good thing Berkeley Breathed picked up his ink pens again and gave us the “Opus” strip. Touching as the finale of Bloom County was, the final Opus was one of the sweetest (perhaps a bit bittersweet) finales of any comic strip. I do miss my daily dose of Opus.

Great lyrics, Bilan, set to a classic folk tune.
