1. I'm torn

Lil Dot or the Silver Surfer?

[Xyzse]

7. I love the Surfer

Think he was my favorite for a while.

[TheIronyLovesCompany]

2. Greatest left-wing comic book characters

Man, that's some stiff competition. For more liberal comic characters, I recommend:
Kranti, from minimumsecurity.net, and
Will, from freewillcomic.com.
Can't lose with those two.

3. Bill the Cat, Opus, Calvin & Hobbes, Garfield

Just to name a few if mine.

[Art_from_Ark]

4. And where's Alfred E. Newman?

[sarge43]

5. Where are his successors?

Mr Natural, Fritz the Cat, The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, Wonder Warthog.

The underground comix were the pro-generators of the graphic novel.

[HarveyDarkey]

9. You forgot Harold Hedd

He & the Freak Brothers were my favorites

[sarge43]

12. My apologies to The Hedd.

Another oversight and this one is damn near unforgiveable: Will Eisner's The Spirit

[NewJeffCT]

6. They are not comic book characters

they're all from comics in the newspaper, not comic books.

[Dr. Strange]

8. #34? That's it?

I'm gonna have to talk to my lawyers!

[yellowcanine]

10. I had a big crush on Veronica for a while during my reckless youth.

[Xyzse]

11. Fortunately they didn't go in to Manga and Light Novels

If they did...
I'd add:

Manji - Blade of the Immortal.
Kirito - Sword Art Online
Goku - Dragon Ball ((No, we are NOT going to have a who would kick whose behind in here between Goku, Superman, Goku, Thor, Silver Surfer or what have you.))
