your favorite comic strip

my vote goes to Pearls before swine.
this, IMO, has to be the FUNNIEST strip ive ever read. better than Foxtrot and Garfield- combined!
i used to be obsessed with Garfield, then Foxtrot, and now PBS. i think Rat is like me in a lot of ways.
also, im friends with the creator on Facebook.

EDIT: probably my favorite PBS strip:

Re: your favorite comic strip

Never really was much of a Garfield fan, I was more into examining life's mysteries while riding on a sled.

I give props to the funny comics. :bow: When I was growing up in the 50's & 60's, I preferred action-adventure. My favorite was

Steve Roper and Mike Nomad

Quote:

Steve Roper explored human foibles and two men's responses to a variety of issues; and through the life story of Roper, it also showed two journalists' views (Allen and John Saunders) of changes in their profession over the course of the 20th Century. Roper and Nomad upheld a male code of honor in their work and personal lives, but unlike the idealized heroes of other adventure strips, they had well-developed, believable personalities with flaws, moods, and complex depths. They were good at what they did, but also miscalculated sometimes and dealt realistically with the consequences. Allen Saunders (1949 Brandenburg article) said his characters became "awfully real" to him, and in 1971 he quoted Milton Caniff as saying Nomad was "the most real character that ever appeared in a comic." Also unlike story strips that always reset to the same status quo, Roper and Nomad developed through their successes, losses, and changes in life over the years, and they gradually aged — from a cocky, adventurous Roper at 22 to both men in their sixties, seasoned and ready for a change.

I could never decide which character I wanted to be, more: The quick-witted investigative reporter, or the brawny, direct, truck driver.

Has Usagi been serialized in a newspaper? This is new information to me.

Comic means it needs to be printed in a newspaper? Uhh, not that I know.

Garfield minus Garfield is more fun than regular Garfield...

Calles and Hobbes is of course a classic. I also like The far side and Bizarro.

Re : your favorite comic strip

The Far Side is the greatest newspaper cartoon ever. Pure genius!!

For longer comix, my favourites are Asterix and Carl Bark's Donald Duck.

Re: your favorite comic strip

I kind of like Sigmund, a Dutch newspaper comic. It's a shame that the newspaper wich prints it is total trash.

EDIT: agreed with Louis, I loved those when I was a kid.
