Topic: What's Your Favorite Comic Strip?

Seeing all these Bloom County images again brings up some good old feelings. I loved Bloom County back in the day, along with Calvin and Hobbes. Peanuts, Garfield and BC were also on my list of must read strips.

Nowadays I settle for the on-line variety since I don't pick up a newspaper anymore. And I get my daily dose of Fox Trot and Get Fuzzy.

So what do you like?

I miss Calvin and Hobbes DEARLY. There's Bloom County images posted? I must go exploring and find these treasures!!!

I loved Bloom County too, but I felt that it got a good sendoff. Worthy of the strip.

And of course Peanuts is gone too. Honestly, I don't have much connection with any of the strips these days.

Though technically I don't read it as a newspaper strip, Frank Cho's Liberty Meadows is collected on a regular basis by Image. I love this book! Took me off for a sec when I realized the staples run across the "top" of the book-- it opens and reads like the Calvin & Hobbes collected editions-- but WOW!! Humor, adult themes, hot babes, anthropomorphic animals... Liberty Meadows is a blast!! Check it out if you're not already doing so!

As far as the stuff I read daily, Rose is Rose is my hands-down favorite. Their kitty cat RULES! [Big Grin]

The comics pages sure ain't what they used to be...

No one will ever match the brilliance that has gone before:
Peanuts, Calvin & Hobbes, Bloom County, Far Side, etc.

I still enjoy Dilbert, which I only started following 8 years ago when I started my current job. Suddenly I could relate...

Other strips I currently enjoy are: Foxtrot, Get Fuzzy, Overboard, Marvin, Family Circus (I got small ones, so I can relate and FC is funnier now that Bil Keane's son Jeff is also involved in producing the strip), and Grand Avenue which my local paper dropped after only a couple months so I have to read it online!

Losing Calvin and Hobbes and Peanuts were two great blows to the funny pages.

These days, I'm still enjoying "For Better for Worse" (Liz is taking a gay friend of Michael's gay friend from school to her old boyfriend's wedding!), "Heart of the City," "Fox Trot," "Jump Start," "Frazz," "One Big Happy," "Grand Avenue (I can relate to the boy)," "Buckles," "Rose is Rose" and "The Big Top."

One of my favorites that hasn't been mentioned yet is "Mutts." It has the same type of gentle humor that I loved in "Peanuts" and "Calvin & Hobbes."

"Calvin & Hobbes", "Bloom County" and "The Farside" -- laugh out loud funny. Everything else just kinda rates a little chuckle once in a while for me.

I love Liberty Meadows and Mutts.

I'm also quite fond of Family Circus. Who could not love "Ida Know" and "Not Me"?
