Subject: Favorite comic strip?

Written By: YWN on 11/23/05 at 3:18 pm

This could be any comic strip, even if it doesn't run in newspapers anymore.

As for me, my favorite is definitely "Get Fuzzy".  My second favorite is "Dilbert" and my third favorite is "Zits".

My favorites are "Peanuts" and "Calvin & Hobbes", both of which are no longer active. However, I do see reruns of "Peanuts" in the newspaper.

I really like "For Better or For Worse".  It chronicles the lives of the Pattersons, a Canadian family who actually grow along with the strip :)

I also really like "Pickles" with that old guy named Earl.  He cracks me up.

other good ones:

Sherman's Lagoon
Overboard - That Louie dog cracks me up
Beetle Bailey

It is also a strip.  I don't know about a weekly strip, but it's in many Sunday (or Saturday) papers :)

Dilbert
Far Side
Calvin and Hobbes
Doonsbury
Mallard Fillmore
Bloom Country
Peanuts
sometimes the Lockhorns even though its always the same joke...it's the Don Rickles factor...sometimes they are very good zingers
THe Wizard of Id and BC and Get Fuzzy all sometimes make me laugh as well
Baby Blues is actually pretty funny...as is Zits...but its the same joke over and over again.

*smacks head*

How on earth did I miss The Far Side?  Okay...rethinking this...  My favorite comic strip is really close between The Far Side and Get Fuzzy. 

I also like Calvin and Hobbes.  Calvin has quite an impressive vocabulary for a six year old!

MAD...it isn't exactly a comic...it has comics in it...meh.

MAD magazine is the best magazine evar.  My taste in music changes, but I will always be loyal to MAD.

When I was a little kid, I used to love the 'Chipper' comic strips that were included in our local paper (I even joined the Chipper Club!). Nowadays, though, I don't really read comic strips much, although my friend e-mailed me a funny comic strip the other day. I'll rake through my inbox and post it...
