Classics of Western Literature

Berke Breathed, the Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of Bloom County, launched this satirical one-shot for Little, Brown in 1990, skewering the pretensions of literary canons with his signature blend of sharp wit and whimsical art. A single, self-contained comic that lampoons the very idea of "classic" literature, it stands as a clever, standalone artifact from a master of the form.
