Opus the Penguin (Opus T. Penguin) is a fictional character created by artist Berkeley Breathed.[1][2] Breathed has described him as an "existentialist penguin" and the favorite of his many characters.
Opus has appeared in several of Breathed's creations, most notably his 1980s comic strip Bloom County.[3] Breathed also included Opus in the sequel strip to Bloom County, Outland, and later made him the star of his own self-titled strip.
