I wanted to post this link to an interview with Berkeley Breathed on Salon for two reasons. Firstly, it has such a fantastic strap line (see myths if you are not familiar with Fudebakudo's "The Pen is Mightier . . ." motto). Secondly, I loved Breathed's Bloom County cartoon strip when it appeared in the 80s, and the interview is interesting if you're into cartooning (which of course I am). Although the Salon piece is actually from 2003 (yes, that's a long time ago already), My Comics Page recently started republishing Bloom County online to subscribers.
Fudebakudo's first exposure to the general public was in the now long-defunct UK paper The Cartoonist. In the interview, Breathed talks about how he was able to insist that he got a whole half-page space in the newspapers for his recent work Opus. The great thing about The Cartoonist was that, being a broadsheet devoted to the form, it was very generous with space, so those early Fudebakudo drawings were actually big enough to read at arm's length. I also know that some people kept them because I've met someone who showed me one of the early editions (with the Hokikoki Kata on the back page, I think).
If that was too much about cartooning and not enough about penguins, here is the almost obigatory link to penguins doing aikido.
