Berke Breathed

Berkeley Breathed, a 1980 University of Texas graduate, created the immensely popular comic strips 'Bloom County' and 'Outland', which appeared in thousands of newspapers around the globe between 1980 and 1995. In 1987, his strip 'Bloom County' earned him a Pulitzer Prize in editorial cartooning.
