About this ebook
From one of the funniest minds -- and pens -- of our time, at last, the definitive collection of the very best of Opus, everyones favorite maladjusted penguin.One of Americas most beloved comic geniuses is back, with this collectible 25th anniversary compendium of the best of Opus, joined by his hilarious supporting cast, including Binkley, Milo, Bill the Cat, Steve Dallas, Ronald Ann, and the rest of the residents of Bloom County and Outland. From Antarctica to Omaha, Opus has cavorted with space creatures, impersonated rock stars, fended off accusations of penguin lust, and even campaigned for office.
Now, in addition to the classic strips, Berkeley Breathed also brings us never-before-collected Bloom County cartoons and original all-new material from his Opus comics. Brace yourself for the sidesplitting, table-pounding, milk-through-the-nose-spewing laughter that only Opus and his outlandish friends can generate. The perfect collection for both die-hard fans and those discovering the matchless humor of Berkeley Breathed for the first time.

I am a huge fan of Berkeley Breathed which is why I bought the book. The enjoyment lies in being able to appreciate the art and the dialog simultaneously. On a Nexus 7 however the cartoons are so small that you either have to use a magnifying glass or stick it about an inch from your nose to make out the dialogue and then you can't focus on the art. There doesn't seem to be any way to enlarge it. If I could figure out how to get a refund I'd use it toward purchasing the actual book with no complaints!

Not sure how to rate this. The book is great! But it doesn't look good on a 7" tablet. The comics themselves are small and you can't zoom in on them. Very unfortunate.
