A Wish for Wings That Work: Difference between revisions

'''''A children'sWish bookfor printedWings inThat Work''''' is a 1991 children's book by Berke Breathed, the creator of ''[[Bloom County]]'' and ''Outland''. In it, the strip's central character, Opus the Penguin, is disappointed because he can't fly. After some failed attempts at using a flying machine bought off TV, he writes a letter to Santa Claus and asks for wings that work. Near the end, Santa's sleigh crashes in the lake and it's up to Opus to save him from the icy lake.

Also in 1991, [[Steven Spielberg]]'s Amblin Television arm adapted ''[[A Wish for Wings That Work]]'' into an animated special that first aired on [[CBS]] on December 18, 1991. Although the special was fairly well-received by critics, Berke considers it an [[Old Shame]]. It is the only [[Animated Adaptation]] of the Breathedverse to date.
