On this past week’s episode of FRINGE, they featured a special alternate-reality OPUS THE PEAHEN strip, tailored for the show by OPUS/BLOOM COUNTY creator Berkeley Breathed. Berkeley — also a special guest at this coming weekend’s WonderCon show in SF — was nice enough to let me run the strip here.
For anyone attending WonderCon or based in the Bay Area, Berkeley’s art is currently on display at the Cartoon Art Museum. And on April 2 (the day the person typing this entered the world a few years back), there will be a special party benefiting the Hero Initiative. In addition to the benefiting a good cause and being a place to meet Berkeley himself — and see the debut of the latest volume of our BLOOM COUNTY COLLECTION — we also produced a special book for the event, too:FROM BLOOM COUNTY TO MARS: THE IMAGINATION OF BERKELEY BREATHED:

That is awesome.
I love what the Fringe Production guys are pulling out for the Alternate U stuff–
Still gotta get caught up on last week’s episode, but now I’ve got something to keep an eye out for!

I did a freeze-frame of the cartoon while watching Fringe on my PC and the Hollywood name was not Paris Hilton as in your cartoon but it was Lindsay Lohan. The writers did the switcharoo on you guys!

Yep, here’s the screengrab I did, all those years ago. I guess Paris fell out of favor.

As far as I know, they’re only being sold at the Cartoon Art Museum. I don’t know if you can order directly through their site but it’s worth checking.
