Favorite/Least favorite Newspaper Comics

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by 4.

The Far Side fucking rules.

I hate the Family Circus with a passion.

Re: Favorite/Least favorite Newspaper Comics

[(Anonymous)]

Calvin & Hobbes and Peanuts forever

just dropping in to note that everyone should check out the Comics Curmudgeon blog which mercilessly and hilariously mocks newspaper comics and has been doing so for like...14 years or something, so there's a LOT of amazing backposts to sift through for the sweet sweet vindication of seeing someone else rip on your unfavorites. He has a running joke that the Family Circus family is in a cult

Zits was almost never funny.

Among many loves, Fat Freddy's Cat has a special place.

Re: Favorite/Least favorite Newspaper Comics

My favorites were The Far Side, Prince Valiant, Hagar the Horrible and Broom Hilda. I don't remember the ones I don't like because I mostly ignored those.

Favourite is definitely Cul de Sac. I love the way it portrays the imaginative world of children, complete with delightfully surreal turns.

Get Fuzzy is probably in second place.

I don't think I have a least favourite from among the tons that I dislike and avoid.

Re: Favorite/Least favorite Newspaper Comics

[philstar22]

Far Side is the best. And yes, Family Circus is awful.

Re: Favorite/Least favorite Newspaper Comics

[kaijinscendre]

Loved The Far Side, Pearls Before Swine, Get Fuzzy, and Garfield.

Hated Doonesbury.

The sick Family Circus memes crack me up, though.

F'd Up Family Circus

and I think there's a Dysfunctional Family Circus, too.

I was obsessed with Calvin and Hobbes. After that stopped running, I was obsessed with Big Nate... which is apparently now a franchise and getting its own show on Nickelodeon? I don't read newspaper comics anymore, so I just hope it's still good.

I hated Liberty Meadows and Zippy the Pinhead.

Re: Favorite/Least favorite Newspaper Comics

[(Anonymous)]

I just remembered my least favorite strip - Mutts. Cannot stand that thing.

Re: Favorite/Least favorite Newspaper Comics

[(Anonymous)]

Hated For Better Or For Worse. Poor, poor Liz.

Re: Favorite/Least favorite Newspaper Comics

[(Anonymous)]

Favorite is Calvin and Hobbs.

Liked Far Side, Foxtrot, BC and Wizard of Id, Peanuts, Non Sequitur

Used to like Dilbert, but I can't read it anymore, thanks to, you know, Scott Adams being who he is.

Never really got into Bloom County or Doonesbury.

Did not like Andy Capp, Li'l Abner, Get Fuzzy.

Bristow was excellent, as were Fred Basset and Chipper. Modesty Blaise went over my head a bit, though I'd probably love it now.

Re: Favorite/Least favorite Newspaper Comics

I've never met anyone else who knows this strip, but One Big Happy was like Family Circus but worse because it was just one gag over and over, the little girl asking her parents what a nonsense phrase meant until they figured out it was an idiom she'd misheard (one I recall in particular: "Mom, who's Marjorie and why does she rule?" "No sweetie, it's majority rules." They were all like that). The girl also had a really annoyingly drawn mouth, it always looked like she was yawning whenever she talked.

Foxtrot didn't run in my paper, but I remembered that time when it made internet news for making a joke about the then-new and trendy All Your Base Are Belong to Us meme, and misquoting it as Belonging to Us without realizing that was wrong. A few years later my paper picked up the strip and I always cringed at it.

What are we drinking?

[(Anonymous)]

In honor of my current glass: I have an untranslatable mix of current juice and beer. It is not as disgusting as it sounds, in fact it is quite lovely.

Re: What are we drinking?

Verbena tea--it's 11PM here and I should be asleep.

Re: What are we drinking?

[(Anonymous)]

Homegrown peppermint and lemon balm tea with palm sugar, Moroccan style. YUM-MY!

Re: What are we drinking?

[pantswarrior]

pure cranberry juice mixed with diet squirt. unfortunately my guts don't seem to enjoy me swallowing anything today, but at least it tasted nice.

Re: What are we drinking?

A lot of coffee this morning, now water

Re: What are we drinking?

[dancingmouse]

I'm naughty and had a couple shots of Whiskey mixed with Coke.

Hmm, you may be onto something, especially since orange juice and beer is a thing (its the "brass monkey" of beastie boys fame).

I'm currently drinking a large iced peach milk tea. Its sooo good.

Re: What are we drinking?

[philstar22]

Diet root beer. Can't do alcohol.
