On his website, Berkeley Breathed has posted a note saying that many newspapers that carry his comic strip Opus won’t publish it for the next two weeks:
The Opus strips for August 26 and September 2 have been withheld from publication by a large number of client newspapers across the country, including Opus’ host paper The Washington Post. The strips may be viewed in a large format on their respective dates at Salon.com.
You can see one of the strips here. EDIT: Looks like it is no longer available at that link.

On a related note, I’m surprised he actually brought back Lola Granola.

A cowardly move on the part of the newspapers, sure, but not at all unexpected. We live in cowardly times.

We’ve always lived in cowardly times.
