Everyday I go online and take a peek at the newspapers online. Everything from London Daily Telegraph to the Arizona Republic. And I check out certain comics for the continuing stories. My favorite, can't miss ones are Mutts, Luann, Bloom County, For Better or Worse and in the UK papers ... Matt cartoon in the Telegraph.

I love particularly Bloom County when Opus and/or Steve Dallas are featured.

What's your favorite?

Cartoons, on the other hand, that I can't stomach at all: Zippy the Pinhead I think was the name of it? It's not in the paper anymore, thank goodness.

Bloom County (and, by extension, Outland), The Far Side, and Calvin and Hobbes were the absolute best. Once I left D.C. and the Washington Compost behind, I went exclusively with New Media and stopped reading the dead tree editions completely.

Since before I could read, I loved Peanuts like a good friend. That is, until it became apparent that Charles Schulz's refusal to allow good things to happen to Charlie Brown bordered on sadistic.

I knew Schulz was losing his marbles in 1984 when he came up with a horrid idea for a TV special -- It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown, which had Snoopy dressing in a torn t-shirt and leg warmers like Jennifer Beals (actually, Marine Jahan). But the very last straw for me was in the early nineties when Charlie Brown reluctantly went to dance class, and a sweet blonde girl asked him to dance. She adored him, he gained self-confidence. He was having the time of his life, so I knew that something had to go terribly wrong. Believe it or not, the girl turned out to be a figment of his imagination.

Hands down...Shoe!

Skyler goes to camp and Roz at the coffee shop, the best!

My all-time favourite was when Senator Belfry (Fat Ted) got held up by the bandit, who said “Stick ‘em up, give me all your money”. Belfry said, “But I am a Senator” and the bandit said “OK, so give me all my money”!

While in Perth back during my Navy days, I ran across Footrot Flats in a bookstore and spent an entire morning sitting on the floor reading, laughing like a loon and generally having a merry old time. The bookstore owner knew I was an American sailor and just smiled indulgingly.

The strip was a total hoot. Don’t know if it is still being drawn.

Fun times!!!
