Good evening, my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell and thank you for sharing a literary/music term - the noun opusculum which is focused on minor and/or short works.

Oscar Pogo the opossum ostentatiously opted for optical oscilloscopes and only allowed short pieces of music including Opus which coined Opie as the plural :-) or short manuscripts to be placed in his awfully small library.
His hero was Opus the Penguin and Pogo the opossum was his family name.
After pondering his circumstances, he remembered the Hermitage plantation owned by Andrew Jackson, the Piedmont plateau region located in the Eastern United States, and the Nordic lands. Her opted for something beginning with "O" and after tripping over the piles of manuscripts in his cramped library he judiciously selected Opusculum as the name for his library.
I have a few comic opuscula [plural of opusculum]
I don't consider Pogo, Bloom County or the Peanuts comics to be minor so they could not be considered opusculum.
