These are all quality comics.


Day By Day© by Chris Muir.



I used to enjoy Doonesbury, but he's gotten progressively more bitter and just mean. I don't think he even tries to be funny any more. I know that's true about Boondocks, which has morphed into a young-black-radical version of the Andy Capp cartoon--Andy's beating up a soccer player, at the bar picking up floozies, listening to his wife insult him on the couch (shuffle when necessary)! Look, it's Huey being a young Black Panther, see his granpa making fun of him, watch his brother being dumb!

I miss when the comics were primarily sposed to be funny, not just some sort of message bearer. And the comics above keep up that even while bringing a message along.

That's why I still read Get Fuzzy, even though I know the author is a lefty. He's still funny first.

When our paper finally dropped that strip, I sent in the following letter(which they declined to publish ...)

"I used to enjoy Doonesbury, but he's gotten progressively more bitter and just mean."


The very early Doonesbury was downright hilarious, and in fact very un-PC, as Trudeau actually made fun of liberals (especially their naivete and earnestness). Later on, as you said, he grew more cynical and condemning of anyone conservative. I can't even read him now.
