Best and Worst Comic Strips?

[The Cajun]

Best: Calvin and Hobbs, also Dilbert.

Absolute puke worst: Doonesbury, the MSNBC of comics.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Best: Dilbert, Far Side, Calvin & Hobbes, BC

Worst: Doonesbury

[Oklahoma]

Grin & Bear It and Bloom County are (or were) the best topical cartoons.

Jeff MacNelly and Michael Ramirez the best editorial cartoons.

Calvin & Hobbes besides being very funny is also able to slip in philosophical questions. Arlo & Janis, The Grizzwells and The Born Loser are also all funny cartoons.

[fieldmarshaldj]

My favorites: Garfield, Curtis, Beetle Bailey, Blondie, Lola

Worst/execrable: Doonesbury, This Modern World (about as close to pure evil put in ink)

[Oklahoma]

I should have added BC, Wizard of Id and Herman.

[Tupelo]

There are so many I miss. So I will just name the first two that came to mind;
Lil Abner
Steve Canyon

And darn near everyone listed here before I got to mine.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Li’l Abner. Fine social satire.

Calvin and Hobbes. When this ceased I quit reading the comics.

Prince Valiant was good from the 1930s to the 1990s.

Worst: Doonsbury. I refused to read it back in 1971.

Sign of a good ego is the ability to laugh at yourself. Something that Libs can’t do!

[lastchance]

Well, I’ll have 2nd the “Pogo” nomination above. Another top favorite of mine is a strip called “Arnold” which did not last long at all.

[clintonh8r]

Best: L'il Abner, Bloom County, Far Side, Shoe, Calvin and Hobbes, Sad Sack, Dilbert.

But honestly, I don't think I've regularly read the comics in 10 years.

Willie & Ethel was usually pretty good, as well.
