Berke Breathed Interview in The Onion

Posted by Hemos on from the talking-to-the-man dept.

Hobart writes "Berke Breathed, author of Bloom County has granted an interview to Tasha Robinson of the The Onion's AV Club. This is the second interview I've seen in six months (previous interview link) after the six years of silence since the end of Outland. He even calls for volunteers to help with his site! ;)"

  1. Bloom County ? What the fuck is that ? by Flabdabb+Hubbard · · Score: -1, Troll
    For our international readers who don't have a clue about this, would someone care to explain ?

    And don't mod me down as flamebait simply because I used the word 'fuck'. Where I come from, it is an accepted part of speech.

      It's a comic strip. This article explains it's history and social context, as well making an (opinionated, imo) stab at it's place in cultural history.

  2. Better, more revealing interview by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    This is an interview with Breathed in which he discusses the Doonsebury controversy with the most candor I've ever head from him before

  3. Stephen King, author, dead at 54 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll


    I just heard sad news on talk radio -Horror/fiction writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine house this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure we'll all miss him - even if you didn't read his books you've probably enjoyed one of his movies. Truly an American icon.

    Berkley,

    Did you know you were on a steady deciline over the years but powerless to do anything about it, or were you oblivious to the fact until one day you realized you were using the same three tired jokes over and over? We need to know because at the Onion we're on a slow, steady decline and pretty much use the same material over and over.

    Thank you,

    The Onion
