Favorite comic strips (old or current) ?

[doni_georgia]

Just saw Opus on someone's post, and it got me thinking of my all time favorite "funny paper" strips.

My personal favs:

Bloom County
Calvin and Hodges

I know there were many more I have enjoyed through the years - jog my memory

[codegreen]

1. it's Hobbes, yo

don't forget This Modern World!!
Dilbert, Foxtrot, and Get Fuzzy have had their moments (all been overblown, tho)
(how the hell did i forget Boondocks?)

2. The two you mentioned and Far Side and Doonesbury

[Catholic Sensation]

3. Calvin and Hobbes

Red Meat
The Boondocks
Far Side
Dilbert
This Modern World (forgot this one)

[sasquatch]

23. Calvin and Hobbes rocked

Far Side is second in my book.

This Modern World, Boondocks, Ted Rall and Asylum on 5th street are my favorite political/reality comics.

Dilbert is good, but it's seems like the people that read it like to "spend their wheels without going anywhere" if you catch my drift.

[Rowdyboy]

4. I'll add "Arlo and Janis" and "For Better or Worse"

also "Crankshaft" can be really funny on occasion.

I'm even beginning to like "Baby Blues"

5. Boone Docks, This Modern World, BLOOM COUNTY!!!, C&H, Doonesbury

Oh and Mary Worth of course

8. I am dating myself, but...

...the best of all time was Odd Bodkins. I wonder if the books are still in print. This was the most out there surreal political strip ever.

11. Pogo

I wish Walt Kelly were still around. He'd definitely have opinions on this situation.

[Snow]

31. Oh, man, you shoulda seen him on joe mccarthy - he

24. The Far Side

What other comics are there?

[BlackVelvetElvis]

25. I'm a fan of the old strips

Really old. Krazy Kat, Little Nemo in Slumberland, Thimble Theater, Little Orphan Annie.
Current ones I love are Mutts and Get Fuzzy.
My all time favorite is Bloom County.

[Van Helsing]

26. I've always enjoyed "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

The old version of the comics, though.

[TroubleMan]

27. Boondocks

Sometimes I swear McGruder is reading my mind when he makes those, on the social and political level.

[NewHampster]

28. My Cats are Calvin and Hobbes

except cute little Hobbes became coyote food in his 10th year.

32. Far Side & For Better or Worse

And wasn't it Calvin & Hobbes?

[Lisa0825]

33. Calvin and Hobbes and Far Side... and recently, Bizarro....

I have really gotten into Bizarro since seeing the creator, Dan Piraro's tour with the PolitiComedy-a-GoGo (www.comicsagainstevil.com.

He said in his opening monologue that he never got political in his comics before, but ever since the election that wasn't, he has been getting more and moreso. I have been reading as many of his strips as I can since then. He and all the guys in the show were really nice too.
