1. Mallard Fillmore.
Not only conservative, but unfunny.

2. Prickly City.
I have a rude and rather obvious nickname for that swill.

4. I'm No Big Fan Of "BC" Either.
Edited on Fri May-05-06 08:58 PM by arwalden
I remember when I was younger I used to think it was funny... did *I* change, or did the comic change?

6. I think the cartoonist got fundified.
It *used* to be funny. If I wanted comics that preached, I'd reach chick tracts.

18. Yeah, BC and The Wizard of Id were both funny in their day.
By the nineties, the fundification of BC set in.

7. Goddamn Fucking "Family Circus"

Oh, and BC, since the creator became a Christofascist freak.

16. I fucking hate that fucking piece of treacly, right wing shit
I second this. "FC" is nauseating, syrupy, gooey shit. And the fact that the guy writes it is a right winger makes me hate it even more. :grr:

31. yeah, me too
Family Circus really brings out the violent side of a lot of people. I'm waiting for the comic strip to end its run in a fantastic murder-suicide scene. We'll probably never be so lucky.

11. That's only because it's probably the worst comic ever.
Hideously bad.

9. Mallard Fillmore...only get him on Sundays, though.
Prickly City sucks, too. It says "...What do you think?" under the cartoon. I've probably sent 30 or 40 e-mails to the Seattle Times but it's still there!

10. Garfield
A loser geek-boy and the Republican cat who walks all over him. I could never understand all the fuss.

12. I use to enjoy Garfield. .
Not anymore . . but I don't file it under hate.

Mallard Fillmore (Which I imagine will pop up quite a bit), Family Circus, and for some reason Marmaduke. I don't know why but I just can't stand it. . .

38. I kind of liked Garfield back when he was actually a cat.
Now he's just a hostile little troll or something, and the cartoonist has run out of funny things to do with him.

40. "nods" pretty much
I use to own a few of the first garfield books . . . back when he was bigger and like you said more cat like . . .

I still read them (the old books) time to time . . . but that's about the extent of my garfield reading anymore

20. If you hate Garfield
you must follow this link

http://www.truthandbeautybombs.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=4997&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Basically, they edit out garfield's thought balloons from the strip, leaving Jon's dialog intact. The result is an "oddly surrealist comic"

22. Lucky Cow, Pearls Before Swine
Both comics tried out by my local paper and constantly feature humor based on exploiting stupidity.

27. Marmaduke is one lame comic strip.
It's the same gag over and over again. I also hate Cathy. Nobody can be that neurotic.

Seriously. A WOMAN writes that? I find that difficult to believe. Talk about perpetuating silly stereotypes. :eyes:

30. When I was a kid it was progressive.
It's as though there was an invasion of the body snatchers or something. Whoever is writing it now doesn't seem to be the original person. And Cathy Guisewhite's a total comic ho to have let this happen. It's not funny, and it's not in the least bit real.

33. Mallard Fillmore, Snuffy Smith top my list.
I barely tolerate Sherman's Lagoon
but I really HATE the other two.

I wish I could get my local paper to dump them and put 9 Chickweed Lane and
Boondocks in their place.

BC is so not what it was when it first started, and Wizard of Id is still tolerable

37. I LOVE Boondocks and 9 Chickweed Lane...
9 is very surreal to me, a lot of inside jokes and many ways to take many of them.

And Boondocks is just the Boondocks... Funny over and over again.

Prickly city, although conservative, doesn't annoy me nearly as much as some other strips.
