It’s Sunday! I’ve been a huge fan of Berkley Breathed’s comic strip Bloom County since I was in highschool. He’s released several books of his strip over the years, but in 1991 he released a children’s book titled A Wish for Wings That Work. While it starred Opus & Bill the Cat, both central characters from the Bloom County strip, it was an entirely different story. Soon after its release the book was made into an animated holiday television special. I managed to record it on VHS when it appeared on CBS. It wasn’t a very good copy but I watched it every December for many years until it was finally released on DVD.
Nowadays the entire special is available to watch on Youtube and featured here today. I still watch it every year and you can as well. It runs just over 22 minutes so check it out if you’re interested.
