GAWD! I MISS OPUS!!!! That was my one favorite comic!
Ok Sugar Buns! I’ll never forget you. May you always live as dear ol’Santa does, in the hearts of kids, (ok, adults).
Take Care ol’Friend.

I was kinda hoping that the three gals in the last strip would turn out to be REAL and take him to his wished for Tahitian paradise. It woudda been my choice. ;~))

OK. I can’t find the VCR and tapes (I taped the special way back then) Knowing Opus saved Santa in the show the movies supposed title: “Opus, The last Christmas” may have fooled me. It also may be because it turns out penguins can swim better than fly – “A wish for wings that worked” (or similar). In any event we lost Opus + Bill the Cat again each Sunday morning.

I may be wrong, but wasn’t that how he ended “Outland”?

Sorry folks, loved Bloom County, Liked Opus almost as much but thought Opus should have ended up in his long lost/unknown Mothers lap. About that big screen item, there was a TV 1/2 hour special maybe 10 years ago where Opus saved Santa Claus with the same title. RIP a great Sunday strip.

I wondered that too, Abe. I initially thought that Opus was going to die, but then I thought he might continue on in children’s books after seeing the last panel.

does anyone have a thought on why opus is reflected in steve’s glasses? if he’s in the storybook, it doesn’t make sense.

No, it’s not you, those are some baaaad thumbs! ;) Cute ending though, I didn’t see that one coming. Oddly, it does still leave him open to come back … but time will tell.

Is it me or does Steve Dallas have the worst drawn thumbs ever in that last panel? His right thumb is barely a stub.
