One of my favorites that hasn't been mentioned yet is "Mutts."

I love this one, too. It has an understated charm, like something from decades past.

I also love the things the artist slips into the Sunday pages, like tributes to obscure works of art or rock bands.

I guess my favorite comic strips would be the ones I've bought collections of...

***YOUNGER DAYS:

PEANUTS I had zillions of these books... I wish I still had 'em... charming stuff. Good grief!

FAMILY CIRCUS Had zillions of these too, but I don't miss 'em really.

GARFIELD I bought every book as it was released for YEARS...! There's just something about a cat who loves lasagna that I like!

***COLLEGE YEARS

BLOOM COUNTY was it on a stick. I try to reread the collections every few years.

OUTLAND was good too!

***POST-COLLEGE

THE FAR SIDE Who doesn't love this?

CALVIN & HOBBES I have all the collections and reread them at least every year or two.

DILBERT My most recent purchase (and even THAT was a couple years ago). May be time for a new one!

Mutts is adorable. How could I forget that one? I especially love the Sunday strips. Our paper prints that intro panel that usually gets cut off. This week's was the Hulk. [Smile]

At the moment it's "9 Chickweed Lane," by Brooke McEldowney. Yes, I'd never heard of it, either, until I moved out here and started reading the Los Angeles Times. You can check out its Website, with the past 30 days' strips, here.

The sexy college-professor mother and high-school daughter at the core of it have rich fantasy lives -- as a female Tarzan and as Stupendous Girl, respectively -- and are wry, witty, and almost painfully observant of the human comedy around them.

It also has an omnipresent cat, shown off in wordless and hilarious vignettes about "Hallmarks of Felinity." (The title of two book collections McEldowney has made of his cat-focused episodes.)

Here's a sample ...

Well, I seem to have zonked this topic cold ...

I have to wonder, anyway: Would this now be presumed to be off-topic? The forum is now no longer about "general comic books" (one could assume, all such sequential storytelling art) but specifically about "more action/adventure comic books."

I like Boondocks, Get Fuzzy, For Better or For Worse, and Foxtrot. I get an occassional chuckle out of Doonesbury.

I also have gotten into Funky Winkerbean. Did you know that John Byrne filled in as artist for a bit? (It is back to Tom Batiuk. Byrne filled in when Batiuk was ill. Apparently they are friends)

Fond nostalgia for Bloom County and Calvin & Hobbes
