Shortly after, Breathed started strips &#8220;<em>Outland&#8221; and &#8220;Opus<\/em>,&#8221; which both featured &#8220;Bloom County&#8221; characters. In 2015, Breathed started posting new &#8220;<em>Bloom County<\/em>&#8221; strips via Facebook on an almost daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the announcement, Breathed said, &#8220;At the end of &#8216;Alien,&#8217; we watched cuddly Sigourney Weaver go down for a long peaceful snooze in cryogenic hyper-sleep after getting chased around by a saliva-spewing maniac, only to be wakened decades later into a world STUFFED with far worse. FOX and I have done the identical thing to Opus and the rest of the Bloom County gang, may they forgive us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was introduced to the brilliance of Berkeley Breathed and &#8216;<em>Bloom County<\/em>&#8216; as a teenager. His signature blend of satire, politics, and sentiment hooked me. Plus, I love Opus,&#8221; added Michael Thorn, President of Entertainment, of FOX Entertainment. &#8220;Today, Berkeley&#8217;s smart and hilarious take on American culture is more relevant than ever. And, together with Bento Box, we&#8217;re thrilled to bring his unique ensemble of characters and social commentary to broadcast television.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Breathed is a cartoonist and children&#8217;s book author, best known for his comic strips &#8220;<em>Bloom County<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Outland<\/em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>Opus<\/em>.&#8221; He&#8217;s also a screenwriter, production designer, and producer on films going back 30 years. His most recent project is the film production of his own story, &#8220;<em>HITPIG!<\/em>,&#8221; from Aniventure, due this year.<\/p><div id=\"morty-4052176793\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Breathed started his career drawing editorial cartoons for the &#8220;Austin American-Statesman.&#8221; While a student at the University of Texas, Breathed self-published his first comic strip, ultimately leading to the creation of &#8220;<em>Bloom County<\/em>,&#8221; which earned him the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning in 1987.
