Quotes by Berkeley Breathed
Guy Berkeley "Berke" Breathed (born June 21, 1957) is an American cartoonist, children's book author/illustrator, director, and screenwriter, best known for Bloom County, a 1980s cartoon-comic strip which dealt with socio-political issues as seen through the eyes of highly exaggerated characters (e.g. Bill the Cat and Opus the Penguin) and humorous analogies.Breathed and his family live in Southern California. He is reportedly a very private person, and although he has given interviews to on-line magazines such as The Onion and Salon, he rarely gives face-to-face or telephone interviews and resists talking about himself. He and his wife support animal rights, and his book, Flawed Dogs: The Year-End Leftovers at the Piddleton 'Last Chance' Dog Pound, promotes animal adoption. (more)

endearing sociopolitical 1980s comic strip, has just released a new
children’s book, "Mars Needs Moms!," in which Breathed,

love that binds parents to their children.
