Where To Find Opus On Sunday

Berkeley Breathed has a note up on his site: "Note to Opus readers: The Opus strips for August 26 and September 2 have been withheld from publication by a large number of client newspapers across the country, including Opus' host paper The Washington Post. The strips may be viewed in a large format on their respective dates at Salon.com.."

Opus is the descendant of what was once Bloom County. If you don't know what Bloom County was then I feel sorry for you. Missing that cartoon is like never having read Calvin & Hobbes or The Far Side. Great comics are few and far between. Usually we get left with crap like Cathy and Garfield that recycle jokes day after day.

The second "censored" strip is dated next Sunday, so I guess it isn't available yet.

they [the IRA] tried to focus on political targets because they were attempting to achieve a political goal. I'm not excusing their actions, nor am I saying that they didn't kill hundreds of innocent bystanders, but they generally didn't go out of their way to blow up coffee shops, discos, and bus stations.

WTF?!

I can't let this go uncorrected.

I'll take a wild guess that you're not British. I might even go further and guess that you're in America (where many people happily funded the IRA's regular bombing of civilians, until 9/11 there was a distinct lack of aversion to terrorism it seems).

Actually, they happily bombed shopping malls and city centres , offices, pubs, restaurants, public transport...

The IRA VERY MUCH systematically "went out of their way" to kill and injure hundreds of civilians.
