Patrick McDonnell's Mutts is about the best "art" of comic strip today. It is deceptively simple.

He authored a book on Krazy Kat/George Herriman before he ever launched his strip.

Boondocks is a complete waste of the form and insulting to America. Nothing but racist hate under the guise of "political satire".

I believe that Bill Griffith's Zippy The Pinhead has been at the top of its run thes past 4 years as well.

Outland and Bloom County still make me laugh. I think I own the entire Calvin and Hobbes collection and just about everything with Opus and Bill the Cat in it.

Can you, or someone else, please explain that strip to me? It is the weirdest thing in the newspaper, bar none . . .

I really really hate Boondocks, and I'm amazed that they can get away with such racisit bigoted crap.

Wait. No I'm not.

Since you like the Boondocks comic strip so much, you will LOVE the Boondocks TV show.

Good lord, I haven't read Zippy since the late 80's when I would sneak a peak at my big brothers Nat'l Lampoon.
