Is back.

Well, not really. I mean, you can still catch Opus on sundays in some papers, and online. But you can also see the original series here:.

Now, Berkely Breathed is a closet liberal/libertarian. He has no clue about politics, he’s a damned cartoonist. But his strip was funny, and I always enjoyed it. Maybe not as much as Larson, but hey.

And they’re running the series from the beginning, more or less. You can watch Opus evolve, and watch the characters find their voice.

It’s a nostalgic ride. Take it.

When I had my surgery, I was concerned about three things:

1: Would I be able to eat steak?I’d heard stories about people not being able to eat steak. I made up my mind that I would be able to eat steak if i had to chew it and spit it out. Good news: I can eat all the steak I can find.

2: Would I be able to have a really good crap? I mean, I’m eating a LOT less food, so would I be able to take really epic-quality shits? I don’t have them every day, but yes, I can still fill a bowl with the best of them

3: Can I belch? Belching and farting are every man’s hobby. Sure, we try to act civilized when the women are around, but when we’re alone, we belch and fart, and bitch at each other about how horrid it is. We’re men, get over it.

Good news, not only can I belch, but the new shape of my stomach makes it possible for me to belch the most drawn out, long, loud, two-tone belches, as the belch comes from the lower stomach chamber into the upper, and then out.

I’m so proud to be here.

You know who you are. The guy with a garbage bag taped over the back window with duct tape. The car with three green fenders and one blue. The guy with one headlight. And one taillight, and a trailer light drywall screwed to the other side and wired in with tape and speaker wire. The one with the 500 watt stereo. Yeah, you.

Your car LOOKS like that, because you DRIVE LIKE A FUCKTARD.

You weren’t even on a cellphone. I can’t imagine what THAT would be like.
