“I would probably go with ‘Get Fuzzy.’ It has good illustration and a good sense of humor. I also like that it has longer story lines, but each strip is funny on its own.”

“I like ‘Peanuts’ because I like Snoopy and Woodstock.”

Garfield’ is pretty good, but I like ‘Dilbert’ too.”

“I’m still a big ‘Peanuts’ fan, probably because my dad would always read it.”

    Zippy, particularly when Mr. Toad makes an appearance. I have a large degree of self-identification with Mr. Toad.http://pst.rbma.com/content/Zippy_the_Pinhead?date=20080124&size=hires

  17. labmonkey (anonymous) says…

    Get Fuzzy and Dilbert. For those who liked "The Far Side," take a look at one called "The Perry Bible Fellowship, " (http://pbfcomics.com/).

  21. Pywacket (anonymous) says…

    Red Meat, Calvin & Hobbes, The Far Side, The Boondocks (although the animated series was disappointing), Zippy, Dilbert, Peanuts are all current or fairly recent favorites.Some of the very old ones, like Bringing Up Father and the Katzenjammer Kids, are well worth looking up in compilations.

  22. TacoBob (anonymous) says…

    The Far Side, the Seinfeld of comic strips. Dibert is a close second, scary the way it reflects office life - wacky stuff.

  23. The_Original_Bob (anonymous) says…

    Yeah, B.C. was good. I forgot about that one.

  24. labmonkey (anonymous) says…

    Damn you all for introducing me to Red Meat. I will be up all night now!!!

  25. Pywacket (anonymous) says…

    Just read the article that arced this question and it reminded me of another one--- Zits. I've seen my own teen son in this one more times than I can count. And he's seen us in it!
