I like turtles

Oh dear, it's true.

I thought all of the little hints in the weekly Opus strip were jokes designed to make us fear our little penguin buddy was going to die but were really references to the end of the interminable campaign for president.

But now cartoonist Berkley Breathed is giving interviews about the end of the strip and sending Opus to "his final paradise" after Nov. 2.

A moment of silence, please ...
