| | |  Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Berkeley Breathed - Cartooning careerHis first regularly published strip was Academia Waltz which appeared in the Daily Texan in 1978. The strip attracted the editors of the Washington Post who recruited him to do a nationally syndicated strip. On December 8, 1980, Bloom County made its debut, and featured some of the characters from Academia Waltz including former frat-boy Steve Dallas and the paralyzed Vietnam war veteran Cutter John. In the beginning, the strip's style was so close to that of another popular strip, Doonesbury, that creator Garry Trudeau wrot ...

| | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Calvin and Hobbes - Recurring subject matter There are several repeating themes in the work, a few involving Calvin's real life, and many stemming from his incredible imagination. Some of the latter are clearly flights of fancy, while others, like Hobbes, are of an apparently dual nature and don't quite work when presumed real or unreal.
Calvin and Hobbes - Calvin's alter-egos.
Calvin's hyperactive imagination leads him to imagine himself as other characters with different powers and goals, sometimes vanishing into a fantasy to escape a diffic ...

| | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Calvin and Hobbes - History Calvin and Hobbes was first conceived when Watterson, having worked in an advertising job he detested, began devoting his spare time to cartooning, his true love. He explored various strip ideas but all were rejected by the syndicates to which he sent them. However, he did receive a positive response on one strip, which featured a side character (the main character's little brother) who had a stuffed tiger. Told that these characters were the strongest, Watterson began a new strip centered around them. The syndicate (United Features S ...

| | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Cat - Characteristics
Cat - Physical.
Cats typically weigh between 2.5 and 7 kg (5.5–16 lb); however, some breeds, such as the Maine Coon can exceed 11.3 kg (25 pounds). Some have been known to reach up to 23 kg (50 lb), due to overfeeding. This is very unhealthy for the cat, and should be prevented through diet and exercise (playing), especially for cats living exclusively indoors.
In captivity, indoor cats typically live 15 to 20 years, though the oldest-known cat lived to age 36.See also:Cat, Cat - Characteristics, Cat - Physical, Cat - Senses, Cat - Communication, Cat - Hunting and diet, Cat - Hygiene, Cat - Environment, Cat - Reproduction and genetics, Cat - Domestication, Cat - Feral cats, Cat - Environmental issues, Cat - Scientific classification, Cat - Varieties of domestic cat, Cat - History and mythology Read more here: » Cat: Encyclopedia II - Cat - Characteristics |

| | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Heavy metal umlaut - Umlauts and diaereses The German word Umlaut roughly means changed sound, as it is composed of um- (a prefix often used with verbs involving "change") and Laut, here meaning "sound". Adding an umlaut indeed changes the pronunciation of a vowel in standard (non-heavy metal) usage; the letters u and ü represent distinct sounds, as do o vs. ö and a vs. ä. Umlauts, or visually similar graphemes, are used in several languages, such as Icelandic, German, Swedish, Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian, Azer ...

| | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Heavy metal umlaut - History The progressive rock band Amon Düül II (aka Amon Duul II) released their first album in 1969. However, their name came from "Amon an Egyptian sun god and Düül a character from Turkish fiction" [2], so this use of diaereses was not gratuitous. The third part of Yes's progressive rock epic "Starship Trooper" is entitled "Würm" (on The Yes Album, released 1971). However, this again is probably not gratuitou ...

| | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Cat - History and mythology Main article History of cats
Cats have been kept with humans since at least the days of Ancient Egypt through various cultures. In Ancient Egypt, the cat god, Bast, is a goddess of the home and of the domestic cat, although she sometimes took on the war-like aspect of a lioness. Daughter of the sun god Ra, although sometimes regarded as the daughter of Amun. She was the wife of Ptah and mother of the lion-god Mihos. Her cult was centered on her sanctuary at Bubastis in the delta region, where a necropolis has been found contain ...

(The collections do contain a strip for this date, but it is not the same strip that appeared in some newspapers. The alternate strip, a joke about Hobbes taking a bath in the washing machine, has circulated around the internet.) "Treasuries" usually combine the two preceding collections with ...

| | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Heavy metal umlaut - The gratuitous umlaut in other popular literature The 1974 film Blazing Saddles included Madeline Kahn's German-accented Marlene Dietrich-style chanteuse character "Lili Von Shtupp" (according in the credits). She is announced on a poster outside the music hall as "Lili von Shtüpp"; the film's characters pronounce the name without any change to the vowel.
In the mid-1980s, cartoonist Berkeley Breathed parodied the heavy metal umlaut in the comic strip Bloom County with the fictional group Deathtöngue, fronted by the depraved and unwholesome singer/'lead tongue' "Wild" Bill C ...

| | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Cat - Reproduction and genetics Cats are seasonally polyestrous, which means they may have many heat periods over the course of a year. A heat period lasts about 4 to 7 days if the female is bred; if she is not, the heat period lasts longer and recurs at regular intervals.
The male cat's penis has spines which point backwards. Upon withdrawal of the penis, the spines rake the walls of the female's vagina. The female needs this stimulation for ovulation to begin. Because of this, females are rarely impregnated by the first male with which they mate. Furthermore, cats ...

| | | | Berkeley Breathed: Encyclopedia II - Calvin and Hobbes - Style and Influences Calvin and Hobbes strips are characterized by sparse but careful draftsmanship, intelligent humor, poignant observations, witty social and political commentary, and well-developed characters that are full of personality. Precedents to Calvin's fantasy world can be found in Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts, Percy Crosby's Skippy, Berkeley Breathed's Bloom County, and George Herriman's Krazy Kat, while Watterson's use of comics as sociopolitical commentary reaches back to Walt Kelly's Pogo. Schulz and Kelly in particular influenced Watterson's out ...
