Berkeley Breathed’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Berkeley Breathed was born in the Year of the Rooster. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Rooster are practical, resourceful, observant, analytical, straightforward, trusting, honest, perfectionists, neat and conservative. Compatible with Ox or Snake.
Cartoonist and illustrator whose best-known work was his Pulitzer Prize-winning comic strip "Bloom County," featuring such iconic characters as Bill the Cat and Opus the Penguin.
He held his first cartooning position with the Austin American-Statesman, but his editorial work caused such controversy that he was fired. He gained notice by The Washington Post after he self-published his college newspaper strip "The Academia Waltz" to pay for his tuition.

His family was residing in Encino when he was born, but he was raised in Houston, Texas. He and his wife Jody Boyman had two children.
