Over the course of a little more than eight years Bloom County was one of the best selling comic strips ever, winning Berkeley a coveted Pulitzer Prize. The artist went on to do two more sunday-only strips, Outland and Opus, as well as producing best-selling children's books and screenplays. But before Breathed began his storied career he was a (not so) humble college student at the University of Texas and a contributor to the Daily Texan newspaper where he wrote and drew political cartoons as well as... The Academia Waltz. Berkeley would go on to finance his college studies by self-publishing two paperback collections of AW, selling over 10,000 copies. The strip drew the attention of the Washington Post Syndicate which eventually began publishing a new creation by Berkeley... Bloom County. Many of the characters in the new strip originally appeared in Academia Waltz, most notably Steve Dallas. Now, for the first time--from the rarely seen archives of Berkeley Breathed--comes the nearly (we think) complete Academia Waltz! 650 0 $a College wit and humor. 650 0 $a Caricatures and cartoons $z United States. 650 0 $a American wit and humor, Pictorial. 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006091419.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2746E9ECC93011E88539171297128E48 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
