Visually it doesn't do a lot for me (I can do without talking buildings even if Trudeau uses that gimmick a lot and even if alternative weekly leftist cartoonists draw an image once and then use it for a comic strip for years on end).

I did like what I read better than Millard Fillmore.

I have seen some editorial cartoonists who were conservative that I liked but I can't think of their names now.

There are Registered and others making single panel political cartoons available online.

Great idea, but he is wise for deciding to wait a bit to develop some characters and a narative sense. I recall that "Bloom County" (my favorite strip of the 80's) took about a year and half to really get going.

In the meantime, you just can't beat this one....

In the '70s and early '80s, "Doonesbury" was the comic strip. It was funny, informed, imaginative and, if you can believe it, edgy.

Sorry. I quit reading Doonesbury somewhere around 1975 because it was already so dogmatic, predictable, boring and wrong.

I like the stylized, graphic-design look of Day by Day, and some strips are funny, but Mallard Fillmore rocks! Recently, the Spokane paper cancelled Mallard and Doonesbury, and they finally put both back (but in the classified section of the paper rather than back on the editorial page). One of the editors told me on the phone (when I called to thank them for putting Mallard back) that Mallard Fillmore was more popular (they got more calls) but they put both Doonesbury and MF back in the paper for "balance." I miss Bloom County, too. I'll keep checking out Day by Day!

Until it got wiped off the map by Bloom County

And Don't forget Calvin and Hobbs!
