What Comic Strips do you read (online and newspaper)? (1 Viewer)

[Gabe D]

Yeah, Red Meat is pretty much the only comic strip I ever read any more. (Although I am looking forward to reading the new Migraine Boy book.)

Never could read comics. Don't know why just don't. Come to think of it i don't read anything.

Bumped to refect the redesign of my local paper which includes a all-color comic page. Yea! The ones still linked are strips they either don't carry or are on a different page of the paper in Black and White.

As a huge Bloom County fan with numerous books and plush Opuses (Opui?) laying around, I am going to politely disagree. I read Opus when it first came out and didn't like it all. I will occassionally read it here and there to see if it is getting better and IMHO it hasn't. I can't really explain what it is missing (maybe it is all the different characters), but to me, it just doesn't have the charm of Bloom County.

Very frustrating, the only two comics I really loved, Calvin and Hobbes (Full of imagination and was able to tap in so well to what is was like to be a kid) and The Far Side (Total absurdity and yet so true to the world at the same time) had to retire.

I remember that one college I applied to had an essay to write about my favorite comic strip. Naturally, I chose "Calvin and Hobbes" and wrote about how the power of the imagine of Calvin made it special (My only college essay that was virtually untouched by a writing tutor I had at the time). I remember my acceptance letter frpm the college had a personal, handwritten note on it that said "Loved your essay. "Calvin and Hobbes" is my favorite too."
I wonder if it still survives on my old Smith Corona

For the love of god, read The Perry Bible Fellowship. Its like the Far Side, but slighty more violent and irrelevent.

While not a comic strip per se, you sure can't beat Homestar Runner for some good laughs (and surprisingly clean humour as well!)

Peanuts
Penny Arcade

Cox & Forkum (more of a political cartoon than a comic strip, but it's good nonetheless)

Here are the strips I follow online regularly:

Kevin & Kell

Sluggy Freelance

Day by Day

Note that Day by Day has been on hiatus due to the passing of a close family relative of the creator, Chris Muir. He plans to restart the strip on December 1, 2004.

I'm bumping this to see if more members want to add their favorites to this thread.

Some time back I discovered (Was it from this thread? I didn't go back through and check.) Dork Tower I friggin love this strip! If you have any interest in sci fi, gaming, comics or anything else geeky you'll probably get a kick out of it. I think I'd put this one up there with Bloom County and Calvin and Hobbes as one of my favorites.

(On one hand I love the fact that they are full of references to games, comics, movies, etc. that most normal people wouldn't get, but then again it's a little sad that I'm such a geek that I get them. :b )

I just spent an entire afternoon reading CTRL-ALT-DEL thanks to this thread.

I don't read many offline these days. I love 9 Chickweed Lane, but generally only for the "Hallmarks of Felenity" moments. I still love Bloom County, Dilbert & The Far Side. (Family Circus needs to DIE.)

Online, I only read:

User-Friendly
PVP
CTRL-ALT-DEL (now!)

Plus there are others I occasionally visit...
