What was/is your favorite comic strip?
Without a doubt I have always loved "Peanuts" and miss them.

As a kid I also liked "Blondie".

11. My alltime favorite Calvin and Hobbes was when Calvin and Hobbes
were walking through the woods seeing trash and garbage everywhere. Calvin lamented the fact that nobody was taking care of the environment, and that someday, the country would just be one big strip mall.

Calvin: "I wonder if you can refuse to inherit the Earth?"

Hobbes: "I think if you're born, it's too late."

Brilliant.

Abso-frigging-lutely brilliant.

2. Prince Valiant fan
But it seems like the quality of the artwork has gone down hill the last few years.

17. the "creator" of nancy called in to hannity's show a few month's back
attacking aaron mcgruder of boondocks fame and assuring readers 'that lib'rul strip doesn't represent us regular patriotic american cartoonists"

methinks he was just jealous that no one reads his unfunny work on a hand-me-down strip that lost relevance in the lost 1940s

and then hannity followed it up with "i love nancy. i read it every day"

which was such an obvious load of bullshit. no one under 75 reads nancy. hannity really expected us to believe that he had always been a huge fan of this nobody

8. I go Pogo
As Howland Owl once said, "You may disagree with my right to say it, but you'll defend to death whatever it is..."

I also have a sneaking fondness for Mark Trail, mostly because it's so awful...

12. Pogo
Edited on Wed Jul-21-04 05:34 PM by dancing kali
Doonesbury
Bloom County/Outland

And currently an on-line strip called Oh My Gods - wiccan/pagan oriented, occasionally takes some good astute shots at the wiccan/pagan community as well as the fundies. One of the main characters is gay. No cow is too sacred. If you want to check it out the link is http://ohmygods.timerift.net/. I think the artist is still in university. It's a daily strip but the site is updated only every week or two.

edited to fix link - sorry, folks.

16. peanuts, without a doubt, then pogo, followed by bloom county
though no one had named breathed's newest stripopus.

i tried to like it, but i have to face it, berke breathed has lost his sense of humor. his work comes off as the that of an uninspired, out-of-touch, aging baby boomer. and his political edge is gone.

his art looks better than ever, though
