The term 'Comic Strip Penguin' refers to the character Opus, a penguin created by cartoonist Berkeley Breathed in the 1980s. Opus was featured in the comic strip Bloom County, which ran from 1980 to 1989 and was later revived in the form of Outland from 1989 to 1995. Opus is known for his naivety and childlike innocence, as well as his love of pancakes. He is also a close friend of Bill the Cat, another popular character from the comic strip.
