Favorite comic strips (old or current) ? |
|
Just saw Opus on someone's post, and it got me thinking of my all time favorite "funny paper" strips.
My personal favs:
Bloom County Calvin and Hodges
I know there were many more I have enjoyed through the years - jog my memory

don't forget This Modern World!! Dilbert, Foxtrot, and Get Fuzzy have had their moments (all been overblown, tho) (how the hell did i forget Boondocks?)

Far Side is second in my book.
This Modern World, Boondocks, Ted Rall and Asylum on 5th street are my favorite political/reality comics.
Dilbert is good, but it's seems like the people that read it like to "spend their wheels without going anywhere" if you catch my drift.

4. I'll add "Arlo and Janis" and "For Better or Worse" |
|
also "Crankshaft" can be really funny on occasion.
I'm even beginning to like "Baby Blues"

8. I am dating myself, but... |

...the best of all time was Odd Bodkins. I wonder if the books are still in print. This was the most out there surreal political strip ever.

As a kid, I loved "The Phantom". Now, it's just tired and they should let it die.

22. "This Modern World" by Tom Tomorrow. |
|
"Doonesbury" by Gary Trudeau. Sometimes Ted Rall, although I far, far prefer his excellent op-ed writing.

|
Edited on Fri Apr-16-04 10:03 PM by BlackVelvetElvis
Really old. Krazy Kat, Little Nemo in Slumberland, Thimble Theater, Little Orphan Annie. Current ones I love are Mutts and Get Fuzzy. My all time favorite is Bloom County.

33. Calvin and Hobbes and Far Side... and recently, Bizarro.... |
|
I have really gotten into Bizarro since seeing the creator, Dan Piraro's tour with the PolitiComedy-a-GoGo (www.comicsagainstevil.com.
He said in his opening monologue that he never got political in his comics before, but ever since the election that wasn't, he has been getting more and moreso. I have been reading as many of his strips as I can since then. He and all the guys in the show were really nice too.
