I liked the strip. I read it in the Sun Times when I worked at Inland, all those years ago. I read it when Opus had a little beak, that’s how long ago it was. And Breathed was rarely overtly political, and when he was, he was relatively even handed. Or it seemed so at the time.

Having read some interviews with him since, I suspect he has become at least as partisan as Trudeau or McGrueder, and all I can say is I hope he keeps it to himself. It would be sad if his considerable talent were devoted to john-stewart esque bullshit.
