Comics

[theatreboi]

Just wondering which comic strips people like the best. AND, if you can, post one of your faves or an example of it!

I LOVE "Bizarro", "Calvin and Hobbes", and "Zits"

these aren't really my favorites, just some I could actually find online. to see more Bizarro, check out the "Why Cats!!!!!!!!" and "Post a non porn pic" threads!

I too like those - they are all on my must read every morning. I'll have to think which others are really of that quality.

I don't understand Calvin and Hobbes. Why does every other conservative yahoo have a sticker on their car of Calvin pissing/praying?

Because they like to steal and/or copy illegally. Bill Watterson has never, and will never release the rights to make any C&H merchandise.

I don't read them daily, but I do read the colour ones on the weekend. I like:

Get Fuzzy
Garfield
Forbetter of for Worse
Zits
Mother Goose and Grimm

Those ones are my favorites. I also like Pardon my Planet, and The Better Half with HArriet and Stanley(I think that's their names) but I think it finished circulating a number of years ago.

i just thought i'd add that "Pearls Before Swine" and "Get Fuzzy" are both great strips that I read quite often, but they're just not quite my favorites yet.

Very good hard SF, disguised as a silly comic strip.

Calvin & Hobbes is my all-time favorite. I also love Dilbert--- although that strip is is going through a dry period right now.

I don't read comics at all regularly anymore, but the ones I did like were Get Fuzzy, Mother Goose & Grimm, Calvin & Hobbes, the Far Side... that's all I can think of at the moment.

thanks for the link. I like comics. I'm envious of their creators. I read everyone of the daily strips when I get my hands on the paper, which is not that often these days. I still like the classics: blondie, beetle, hagar, b.c. (tho hart's rampaging xianity raises my hackles sometimes, i still appreciate most of wiley's sentiments), the wizard of id. Sally Forth is good. The Family Circus REALLY needs for Mommy to start ingesting some hallucinogens. I think I probably get the most laughs out of Shoe.

digest comics are a whole 'nother story. Gaiman, as much as much of his writing gives me the yawns, blew the artform and its capabilities out of the water with his "sandman" series. as a magician (and i don't mean stage), i have tremendous respect for grant morrison's "invisibles."

i'm saddened by the death of this thread, so i'm gonna try and revive it.

So are there just not that many of us who read the comics??


PS theatreboi--- I love your albums. I keep trying to give you more votes but *sigh* no luck!
