Berkeley Breathed is perhaps best known for his comic strips “Bloom County,” “Outland,” and “Opus.” But he’s also a gifted children’s book creator. I first met him in 2003, on publication of his book “Flawed Dogs.”
The next time we talked was in 2007, after publication of his book called “Mars Needs Moms,
which later became a Disney animated film. It’s about a 9-year-old boy namd Milo who comes to appreciate everything about his mom, after she’s abducted by Martians.
And Berke Breathed is still producing great comics — “Bloom County” returned in 2015.
