Opus Ending
Berkeley Breathed's popular comic strip Opus has come to an end. The author had informed the readers through the strip and interviews in Salon, that it will all end with Opus finding his 'final resting place' in November 2. Many speculations were had through those weeks on where the said final resting place will be. (There was even a contest for people to guess it, on BerkeleyBreathed.com. The winner would have $10,000 donated to the animal shelter of their choosing.)

The last page was posted in Salon, the given time. However, the last panel wasn't. The readers were directed to go to www.humanesociety.org/opus in order to view the last panel showing Opus' fate. But they couldn't find it there, either.

People were not pleased

-great, now I want to murder someone at the humane society
I'm guessing Berk's objective was to make people LIKE the humane society, but those guys have really blown it as far as goodwill by failing to put up the final panel. What jerks!

-A shame...
...what ever the ending is to be, he just diminished it.

-Berkeley Breathed Sucks Dick??

Maybe not before, but now he does.

Asshole.

-Ok, enough with the advertising of the Humane Society.

This is the cheapest shot ever-to link to another page to make us wait until whenever you choose to give us the ending.

Ok-that's it. I'm officially done caring.

Opus is gone, long live Opus.

Soon, the panel is up for viewing.

Again, some folks are not pleased:

-I got crap from people who were fans of this limping, soul-crippled series. "How can you? Opus is so cute! He is so wonderful! He's all we've got since Charles Schultz shuffled off this mortal coil! You are a cur!"

And when you guys get a defective link to the final panel...which isn't there...you freak. You go nuts.

I wouldn't spoil the ending of a GOOD comic strip.

Opus ended up as the prisoner in that horrible children's book "Goodnight Moon." The thing you read to terminally ill children just before you kill the respirator.

Now, can we get a GOOD strip in here, please?

-maudlin crap

should have let things end in 1995. have fun writing kids books, berke. your heart's been there for a long, long time.

Berkley later responds in the comments section.
