Those are my two favorites, as well. Watterson and Larson both bowed out at the top of their game. While I miss their work, I have to admire their decision. They'll always be remembered as excellent--unlike those who should have given up decades ago (Garry Trudeau comes to mind, for some reason).

These days, I don't read the comics much. I like "Zits." I like "Real Life Adventures." A couple others.

Try "Pearls Before Swine" -- genuinely funny almost every single day.

The only one that really makes me laugh now is Cats with Hands.

Hummmm, fun comix

9 Chickwwed Lane - a different view on many things

'Lil Abner - oh how I miss thee (and Daisy Mae)
Pogo - just because

BC - seems to come and go in cycles

I am afraid the other are correct, not much to read in todays comix, so subtly for one thing.

These guys must have millions of ideas jumping around in their heads all the time. I can't believe that level of creativity can just be turned off.

I would think they would need an outlet.

"The Far Side" ran from 1980 through the end of 1994. "Calvin and Hobbes" ran from Nov. 18, 1985 through the end of 1995. So for a little over nine years, Nov. 1985-Dec. 1994, both were in the funny papers together on a daily basis. What a golden era.

Yep there are only 2 comics I read now. Zits and Baby blues. The rest are easy to look over. Calvin and Hobbes was one of my favorites.
