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 that dealt with sociopolitical issues as understood by fanciful characters (e.g., Bill the Cat and Opus the Penguin) and through humorous analogies. Bloom County earned Breathed the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning in 1987. Contents. Early life. Cartooning career. Breathed became published first when he was hired part-time by the Austin American-Statesman to draw editorial cartoons for the newspaper. This job was short-lived; he was dismissed shortly after one of his cartoons caused outrage. [3] His first comic strip published regularly was The Academia Waltz, which appeared in the Daily Texan , in 1978 while he was a student at the University of Texas. While at the University of Texas, Breathed self-published two collections of The Academia Waltz , using the profits to pay his tuition. The comic strip attracted the notice of the editors of The Washington Post , who recruited him to do a nationally syndicated strip. On December 8, 1980, Bloom County made its debut and featured some of the characters from Academia Waltz, including former frat-boy Steve Dallas and the paraplegic Vietnam war veteran Cutter John. In the beginning, the strip's style was so similar to that of another popular strip, Doonesbury , that Doonesbury's creator Garry Trudeau wrote to Breathed several times to indicate their similarities. [4] Breathed has acknowledged that he borrowed liberally from Doonesbury during his early career. In the Outland collection, One Last Little Peek , Breathed even put an early Bloom County side-by-side with the Doonesbury comic strip from which it obviously took its idea. Bloom County earned Breathed the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning during 1987. [5] The strip eventually appeared in over 1,200 newspapers around the world until Breathed retired the daily strip in 1989, stating that he wanted to terminate the strip while it was still popular. At that time, he said, "A good comic strip is no more eternal than a ripe melon. The ugly truth is that in most cases, comics age less gracefully than their creators". [6] He replaced this strip with the surreal Sunday-only cartoon Outland in 1989, which reused some of the Bloom County characters, including Opus the Penguin and Bill the Cat. He ended Outland in 1995. In 2003, Breathed began the comic strip Opus , a Sunday-only strip featuring Opus the Penguin, who was one of the main characters of Bloom County . Several newspapers chose not to run the August 26, 2007, Opus cartoon because it might offend Muslims. [7] On October 6, 2008, Breathed announced plans to discontinue all work on comic strips with the final Opus strip to run on November 2, 2008. [8] Breathed plans to focus on writing children's books. [2] Breathed explained that he felt that the United States was going to face "tough times", and that he wanted to end the saga of his most memorable character "on a lighter note". The last Opus comic strip appeared on schedule, but in what may be a comic first the final panel required an online link. The final panel the strip showed Opus sleeping peacefully in the bed depicted in the classic children's book, Goodnight Moon . This panel was available only online, and the Humane Society page that displayed it no longer exists. Breathed said that he had no regrets in leaving political cartooning, as he believes the atmosphere became too bitter for him to make quality cartoons. [9] Other works. In addition to his syndicated cartoon work, which has produced eleven best-selling cartoon collections, he has also produced five children's books, two of which, A Wish for Wings That Work and Edwurd Fudwupper Fibbed Big , were made into animated films. Since 1992, he has designed a greeting card and gift ensemble collection for American Greetings, featuring the "Bloom County" characters Opus, Bill the Cat, and Milquetoast the Cockroach. Breathed's writing has also been featured in numerous publications, including Life , Boating , and Travel and Leisure , and he produced the cartoon art for the closing credits of the Texas-based film, Secondhand Lions , which featured a strip called Walter and Jasmine . The panels he drew for Secondhand Lions appear in Opus: 25 Years of His Sunday Best , in which Breathed terms them "the comic strip that never was". Breathed has been a supporter of the animal rights group PETA and illustrated the cover of their Compassionate Cookbook , T-shirts, and other merchandise. Breathed cameos as himself in the short film Tim Warner: A Life in the Clouds , a fictional tale about an unhappy cartoonist and his unfunny strip, The Silver Lining . [10] Breathed adapted his children's book Edwurd Fudwupper Fibbed Big into a short film produced by Disney. The 2011 motion-capture Disney film Mars Needs Moms was based on Breathed's picture book of the same name. Personal life. Breathed is a fan of outdoor activities such as powerboating and motorcycling. In 1986, he broke his back in an ultralight-plane crash, later incorporated into a Bloom County storyline in which Steve Dallas breaks his back after being attacked by an angry Sean Penn. Breathed also nearly lost his right arm to a boating accident. [4] Breathed and his two children live in Santa Barbara, in southern California. He is reportedly a very private person, and although he has given interviews to online magazines such as The Onion and Salon , he rarely gives face-to-face or telephone interviews and resists talking about himself. He supports animal rights, and his book, Flawed Dogs: The Year-End Leftovers at the Piddleton 'Last Chance' Dog Pound , promotes animal adoption. Breathed befriended science fiction humorist Douglas Adams when Adams moved to Santa Barbara in 1999. Adams was also very keen on wildlife preservation. During the middle of September 1990, while visiting a factory in England, Mr. Breathed noticed he received odd, humorous looks from the workers upon hearing his name. After inquiring about the reason for their strange looks, he learned that his nickname, "Berke", is a homophone with "Berk", a vulgar term for a vagina in Cockney rhyming slang ("Berkeley Hunt"). [11] Breathed once stated he is an atheist. [12] On May 18, 2008, in his comic strip Opus , he announced he was suffering from a condition known as spasmodic torticollis. [13] Bloom County. A popular daily comic strip of the 1980s, Bloom County was written and drawn by Berkeley Breathed. During its run, the comic strip reveled in political, cultural, and social satire. Capturing popular attention with witty comment, the strip also offered a new perspective in the comics. Bloom County began in 1980 with the setting of the Bloom Boarding House in the mythical Bloom County. Both boarding house and county appeared to be named for a local family, originally represented in the comic strip by the eccentric Major Bloom, retired, and his grandson Milo. Other original residents included Mike Binkley, a neurotic friend of Milo; Binkley's father; Bobbi Harlow, a progressive feminist school teacher; Steve Dallas, a macho despicable lawyer; and Cutter John, a paralyzed Vietnam vet. Over the years, the boarding house residents changed; the Major and Bobbi Harlow vanished and the human inhabitants were joined by a host of animals including Portnoy, a hedgehog, and Hodge Podge, a rabbit. But two other animals became the most famous characters of the strip. One, a parody of Garfield, was Bill the Cat, a disgusting feline that usually just said "aack." The other was the big-nosed penguin named Opus, who first appeared with a much more diminutive honker as Binkley's pet, a sorry substitute for a dog.

  • Bloom County – Eine Kommentierte Comicübersetzung
    Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Departement Angewandte Linguistik Institut für Übersetzen und Dolmetschen Studiengang Übersetzen Diplomarbeit von Thomas Zeller Bloom County – Eine kommentierte Comicübersetzung Referent: Simon Lenz M. A., dipl. Übersetzer FH Abgabetermin: 15. Juli 2009 Abstract The main part of this thesis consists of a German translation of the US-American funny comic Bloom County – Toons for our times by Berkeley Breathed, published in 1984. In order to establish basic translation strategies, a closer look has been taken at the various phenomena that may occur in comics. The main challenge with regard to translation has turned out to be the connection between verbal and nonverbal elements. This connection may cause translation problems if, for example, a pun (verbal element) is based on a vis- ual element (nonverbal element). Since, while verbal content can be changed in transla- tion, nonverbal elements cannot be altered, the translator can be confronted with heavy constraints: on the one hand, the translation of the verbal elements has to make sense in relation to the nonverbal elements; on the other hand, the number of characters of the target text must not significantly exceed the number of characters of the source text. Thus, two main strategies can be applied: compensation of the verbal element in question (e.g. a pun) in a different panel or deviation from the source text. The latter strategy can be divided into several subgroups and may lead to a complete deviation from not only the lexical or syntactic level but also from the semantic level to reach the same effect in the target text as intended in the source text.
