See You in the Funny Pages: Favorite Newspaper Comic Strips

[iSteve]

I finally got around to iFanboy's video podcast, "Funny," and it made me think of newspaper comic strips I've enjoyed over the years - Doonesbury, Bloom County, Calvin & Hobbes, etc.

Do you still read newspaper comics, and if so, which ones are your favorites?

I loved Bloom County back in the day.

DOn't read the paper much anymore. But I do enjoy me some Sherman's Lagoon.

I guess pvponline.com is the closest I get now.

Family Circus always has a bit of a bite to it.

Foxtrot's kinda cool. What's that other one I like...

[xyzzy]

I don't really read comic strips in the newspaper anymore, but I do own the complete Calvin & Hobbes, the complete Little Nemo in Slumberland and a few of the Penny Arcade collections.

I have dug FoxTrot for a long time, and was bummed when it switched to just weekend strips.

In my ever so humble opinion, there is absolutely nothing to redeem the modern funny pages.

I haven't read the paper in a while, but when I did as a kid I loved Calvin & Hobbes, Fox Trot, and earlier Non-Sequitir

I used to be a huge Far Side fan. I probably have every collection that was ever put out.

Now I don't know about the rest of you, but my gateway into comic books were the comics in the paper aka 'The Funny Pages' or 'The Funnies'.

Good to see some Doonesbury love here. In the comic world it stands alone.
