Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | The penguin is mightier than the sword
Berkely Breathed is back with a new comic to run Sundays as a half page in 160 newspapers.
"For his part, as mentioned above, Breathed is demanding half a page for his bird. "We heard a little bit of grumbling from some editors who thought it was too much space," says Suzanne Whelton, Breathed's editor at WPPG, "but once they saw the artwork, they were all easily convinced that it was deserving of that kind of space. He's really honed his talents as a painter over the past years. It really has a more painterly look than 'Outland' or 'Bloom County.'" "
And when you're done with that, check out Tom Tomorrow's This Modern World for further proof that the medium of comics isn't dead.
