The comic strip comes to an end about five years after its much-hyped debut. Cartoonist Berkeley Breathed indicates that the titular character could live on, however.

DULLARD TAKE: "Bloom County" was great in the 1980s as it positioned itself as "Doonesbury" with an edge. But "Opus" never really worked, and perhaps it's best that the penguin retire once and for all.
