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.

The one I really liked is alas, soon to be gone forevermore, that being BC, by the late Johnny Hart...

The Yellow Kid.

Gary Larson was the best ever.

 

[VR-21]

Gary Larson and Al Capp.

[Viking2002]

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.

Mother Goose and Grimm.

Those crazy critters are hilarious.

[FlowerKrout]

I miss Bloom Count most.

[DancesWithCats]

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Calvin and Hobbes, hands down. Love the snowmen.

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.

Most Excellent choice, Extremist!

Peanuts forever.

King Vanity’s fave Garfield.

[DancesWithCats]

Oh that’s funny! Have never seen that one!

[ishabibble]

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”!

Pearls Before Swine!

Mine would be Foxtrot, Garfield, Mallard Filmore, and Prickly City
