One Last Little Peek, 1980-1995: The Final Strips, the Special Hits, the Inside Tips, by Berke Breathed. Published by Rosebud Productions, Inc in 1995. ISBN 0-316-10690-9. This books is selections from the author's Outland series, with some selections from Bloom Country strip. Outland is a comic strip written and illustrated by Berkeley Breathed from 1989 until 1995. It was a Sunday-only spin-off of Breathed's strip Bloom County, featuring many of the same characters. On March 26, 1995, Breathed decided to end the strip and retire from cartooning. At the strip's end, Steve Dallas came out as gay, and eloped to California with Mark Slackmeyer from the comic strip Doonesbury. Opus returned to Antarctica to live with his mother, whom he had finally located (some story arcs of the original comic Bloom County focused on his quest to find her). Eight years later, Breathed abandoned retirement and picked up where Outland had left off. The result was the Sunday-only reunion strip, Opus. Breathed was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in editorial cartooning in 1987 for Bloom County. Because the cartoon appeared on the comics page, and not on the editorial page, the win was disapproved of by many members of Association of American Editorial Cartoonists.
