Reply #5: I typically read all of the the strips out of principle, even the crappy ones. [View All]

For a while I skipped over "Prince Valiant" just because it looked ridiculous, but I eventually gave in. And guess what? It is ridiculous. Last I know they were fighting some giant oversized Komodo Dragon. But I've decided to read it out of principle simply 'cause its there. "Family Circus", too (although I read that out of sentiment....I think I actually used to like it....as a five year old.)

"Peanuts" should have been officially retired after Shultz died. That my local paper keeps rerunning it in the pages when they could be printing a cool first run strip...cough cough...."Pearls Before Swine"...cough cough....is unfortunate.

I will say "Cathy" annoys the ever living hell out of me. That woman just gets so frazzled and worked up over everything. If I were Irving I think I would have thrown myself over a cliff by now rather than trying to put up with any more of that stuff.

And the people in "Rose is Rose" are just too....happy. I mean like Prozac happy. It's unnatural. Really.

But I can't go a day without reading all of my funnies. My wife thinks its childish but I just find it a nice escape from all the crap in the news these days.
