Your Favourite Comic Strip

[Lee]

If you read the comics do you have a fave? I have several, but Pickles is the one I like best, and Moose and Molly run second.

And do you call them Comics or The Funnies?

My absolute favourite back in the day was, For Better or For Worse.

As the stay-at-home mom that I was, Lynn Johnston, was always able to draw me into her comics in a way none other were able to, probably because so much of her comic life mirrored exactly the same as mine... the overflowing laundry baskets, the playpen with baby inside, diapers to change, meals to cook, dishes to wash, talking with my mom on the phone every morning... she knocked it out of the park for me, right down to the plastic magnetized letters on the fridge door!

Calvin and Hobbs

I don't read them anymore because I don't get a newspaper but my favorite one used to be Andy Kapp.

I truly miss the Sunday paper. It was a full day of reading for everyone. It was thick and heavy and packed full of "stuff". Spread all over the living room, on the floor, on the couch, on the big chair, on the end tables. Then on the following days the issue was "Is everyone done with the Sunday paper"?

When I was working, it was "Dilbert" by Scott Adams. He had a keen understanding of bad politics at work, clueless and incompetent bosses, and the many absurdities of work life...

 

[HazyDavey]

Always enjoyed Gary Larson's, The Far Side.

Can I have more than one?
Baby Blues,,Garfield,,For Better or For Worse.

By the way For better or For Worse has a new baby.

 

[Jules]

For some warped reason, I always read Broom Hilda first.

 

[asp3]

I used to read comics every single day. The one that kept me interested and laughing (or cringing) the longest is Doonsebury.

 

[RadishRose]

Hagar, Beetle Baily and The Far Side.

I called them the Funnies and the Comics, both.
Funny books over comic books.

I suddenly feel ancient...as you know we were a big family of the times. The Star Weekly, published only on Saturdays I believe originated just after the war was a favourite in our household and we had trouble getting it away from our Dad. As I noted before we were heavy into comics of all kinds and my eldest brother and I would fill our wagon with the ones everyone was finished with and pulled the wagon down the street from door to door to trade comics with others. Happy...happy days!

In the newspaper funnies today, I lean towards Between Friends. I am grabbed by Non Sequitur by Wiley--must be the art. I enjoy reading Shoe--his desk...I love the desk!

Pearls Before Swine. It seems to be targeted toward adults.

Here is a past thread I came across in my travels here, lots of great entries I felt were worthy of adding to this started topic.

Calvin & Hobbes

I miss Calvin & Hobbes.

We canceled the newspaper years ago, one sided propaganda sheet.

 

[Chris P Bacon]

I canceled delivery of my home paper too, years ago, because it always arrived after I'd left for work and on my breaks was when I most enjoyed reading it. But then the cost of a single issue kept increasing as readership kept decreasing and the ads became overwhelming. These days I recently subscribed to my local newspaper on a special deal of only $1 for several months access. I'm living away from my home grounds and so this seemed like a bargain to keep up with the local news. But I also re-discovered those comic strips and realized that I'd missed them. Here's one I found today that made me laugh.
