Favorite comic strip ever

[Va Lefty]

Which comic strip do/did you look forward to reading each day?

[flvegan]

1. Get Fuzzy.

Love it.

[matcom]

Bloom County hands down

no contest

Calvin 2nd

[MrScorpio]

10. Bloom County, BABY!

Then the Far Side!

[GOPisEvil]

38. Ayup!

:thumbsup: to both.

[DarkTirade]

2. I'd say it's a toss-up between the first two.

Those are the only ones that I'd be willing to actually shell out money to buy books of, at least. :)

[NJmaverick]

3. I voted Bloom County, but it just as easily could have been Calvin and Hobbes

or Farside

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. Any such poll that fails to include 'Peanuts'

should never see the light of day.

[bigwillq]

5. Peanuts

I love Snoopy.

[redqueen]

6. Calvin and Hobbes

Lots of great ones... but that's the best, IMO.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

39. yes, Calvin and Hobbes was the best.

especially the older ones where hobbes was often drawn as a full sized tiger.

[Cant trust em]

7. I have a special place in my heart for Calvin and Hobbes.

I'm going to give those books to my kids...when I have some kids.

[terrya]

8. I particularly liked FoxTrot

Weird, but there you go.

[pokerfan]

15. You **liked** Foxtrot?

What happened?

[pokerfan]

17. deleted

wrong place

[terrya]

20. If I'm not mistaken, it's not being drawn anymore.

Right?

[pokerfan]

22. It never stopped

It just switched to Sundays only.

[terrya]

25. Ok...thanks.

It's, sadly, not carried in the Chicago Tribune. Used to be, though. :-(

[pokerfan]

27. Well, if you have the internet...

GoComics carries it. I have it set up so that the newest one automatically loads on MyYahoo along with all the other news.

[johnnie]

29. That is one of my favorites too

I thought it was hilarious, not many of my friends did. :shrug:

[Shakespeare]

9. Pearls Before Swine is one of my favorites.

Twisted toon.

[Deja Q]

11. The Far Side

[OmahaBlueDog]

12. I loved Doonsbury before the Trudeau hiatus

now...not so much

[Fox Mulder]

13. Pearls Before Swine

[khashka]

14. Bloom County, no question!

I want it back!


Special mention for Sylvia - she's kind of a bitch, her cats plot against her, and her daughter annoys her. But often political in a surprising and leftist way.

Khash.

[Fire Walk With Me]

16. Garfield Without Garfield.

[pokerfan]

18. Calvin and Hobbes - no contest

Though I enjoy(ed) Foxtrot, Bloom County, Dilbert, etc. Calvin was the best.

[succubus.blues]

26. Totally!!!

I have all their books. I was really sad when he stopped making them.

[pokerfan]

30. Then you remember the raccoon story

http://progressiveboink.com/archive/calvinhobbes.htm">25 Great Calvin and Hobbes Strips

[succubus.blues]

45. I remember all those!

[YankeyMCC]

52. Most definately

Doonesbury and others are excellent and favorites of mine but C&H is just in a class by itself.

[Pierre.Suave]

19. I knew the answer to this one before I even opened the thread

It is Calvin and Hobbes of course.

[ghostsofgiants]

21. Do webcomics count?

http://www.questionablecontent.net

http://www.mitchclem.com

http://www.xkcd.com

[realisticphish]

37. xkcd is brilliant

my favorite, and only regular, webcomic

[grannylib]

23. I like a lot on your list...Doonesbury, The Far Side,

I love Pearls Before Swine and Peanuts!!
I do love Zits too, that's usually pretty funny.

[mainegreen]

24. Little Nemo in Slumberland. n/t

[seemunkee]

28. As much as I like Windsor Mackay

I doubt if you looked forward to reading it in the paper everyday.
I could be wrong, you could be as old as dirt. In which case I would argue for Krazy Kat being a better strip.

[mainegreen]

32. Naw, I have the whole series bundled in a volume.

I love it. I can totally get lost in that comic.

No way am I old enough to have been alive when it came out. I'm about the only Gen Xer I know though who has read Little Nemo in Slumberland or Krazy Kat.

Krazy Kat is definitely great too.

[Mutley]

31. The Far Side

:D

[PeaceNikki]

33. To this day I write "cat fud" on my shopping list

holy shit, is Gary Larson the godfather of LOLCATspeak?? :o

[Mutley]

36. So do I.

I think he envisioned the future! :D

34. Anybody remember Pogo? I always liked it --

Pogo was the title and central character of a long-running (1948-75) daily comic strip created by Walt Kelly. Set in the Georgia section of the Okefenokee Swamp, Pogo often engaged in social and political satire through the adventures of the strip's funny animals. Since Pogo occasionally used slapstick physical humor, the same series of strips could often be enjoyed by young children and by savvy adults on different levels. Kelly's strip earned him a Reuben in 1951.

43. Pogo was always my all-time favorite.

It ended when I was a teenager. :-(

[Tuesday Afternoon]

51. yeah, me too.

:(

I voted for Calvin and Hobbes. Peanuts should be listed, too. :hi:

[sakabatou]

35. My fave Calvin and Hobbes

[XemaSab]

40. Red Meat

:hide:

[Ekirh]

41. I hate you Milkman Dan N/T

[XemaSab]

42. When life gives you poop...

:hide:

[martymar64]

44. The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers

[Gidney N Cloyd]

46. No love for Doonesbury?

Yeah, it's running out of gas but it was groundbreaking in its time.

[Bennyboy]

48. It would be my second choice......

I still love it. Can't wait till Trudeau comes back revitalized.....

[Roon]

47. I remember a Calvin and Hobbes strip

where Calvin was on the phone with the hardware store asking if they had explosives so he could blow up his school.

[newmajority]

49. Deathtongue ROCKS!!

53. Peanuts. Schultz's dry wit and philosphical look at the world, combined

with the simplistic line world shaped my life.

[mitchum]

54. Shary Flenniken's "Trots and Bonnie,"

[Brigid]

55. Doonesbury, of course.

Best comic strip ever. And Trudeau is having a field day, of course, with the Bush regime.
