How about it? I’ve always hated Lucy of Peanuts; and when the Kudzu strip appeared in a local paper, I got to hate the unseen, pugnacious pipsqueak, Billy Joe Scuppernong, who seemed to exist only so Kudzu, unintentionally saying something this runt found offensive, would appear severely beaten in the last panel. Supposedly this is a real hoot for someone.
Then there’s that football clod in 9 Chickweed Lane, whom we could do without!
Please add your own most-hated comic-strip (or comic-book or cartoon) characters.
I like the DC character Captain Marvel. I can’t STAND the Marvel Family.
That fucking baby on Hi and Lois is one of the main reasons I don’t read that strip. The other main reason is that is sucks, but that baby pushed my dislike completely over the top!
You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.
Everyone in “Momma.” There’s the selfish, vicious, confidence-destroying mother. And then there are wussy layabout son, the spineless married son, the whiny, irritating daughter; all of them returning for ever more abuse. Off 'em all!

I’ve never liked Popeye. The old newspaper strip, which, from what I’ve read, seemed to be more of a seafaring adventure serial, was all right, and don’t hate me but I liked the Robin Williams’ movie. But the cartoons leave me cold. They are so poorly drawn, he’s such an incredible wimp until he eats the spinach, and half the time the cartoon dole out both a moralistic message along with the message that violence solves everything. “Beatsk the crapsk out of your eneskmies, butsk be kindsk to aniskmals. Yuk Yuk Yuk.” Yuck.
Of course, I hate the entire Fleischer Folio. Those Fleischer boys specialized in big eyed children who get their reward in the end; either the bad kids learn the error of their ways or the long-suffering good kids are showered with praise and gifts beyond their wildest imaginings. Either way, they’re always simply drawn, simple minded morality plays, and it gets damn old after a while.
And the Cartoon Network won’t show those racy pre-Hayes board Betty Boop cartoons I always hear about.

Kill Garfield, and put him out of our misery, PLEASE!
Cathy (from Cathy) has got to go. Yes, you’re useless without a man, and you can’t stick to your diet. We get it. Ha, ha, not.
Nancy and Sluggo. But Aunt Fritzy can come live at my house!

Give me a machine gun and let me loose in Apartment 3-G. After that, I’ll stroll through all of the other ‘soap opera continuing storyline but we have to rehash the plot every other day just in case some loser forgot to keep up with us so after one month we’ve only done seven strips that actually advance the plot’ strips.
Once that creeping kudzu (no pun intended) of the comics page is dealt with, the influx of new, hopefully funny cartoons should keep me off the killing spree for a while.
Then it’s off to hunt down Cathy Guisewite and whomever at the Washington Post decided to cancel Sunday ‘B.C.’ strips because it dared to discuss religion. Great. When the B.C. Sunday strips were boring and about golf, no problem; but when they got funny but made jokes from a ‘Christian’ stand-point, they were verboten. Arggh.

Die, Prentiss, Die! You will never have a more glorious opportunity!
Tie Ziggy to a rack - stretch the wretched dwarf to somewhat, less-disturbing human proportions - then chop that HUGE goddamned head off with a steeltoothed gas drive chainsaw - use head as toilet.
Hell is Other People.
I sincerely hope the father in The Family Circus finally snaps (what does he do for a living, anyway?) and slaughters the entire family in a rage-induced bloodbath.
Grandma and Grandpa will no doubt be beaming down on them from heaven.
I wanna grab Henry by the neck, jam my fist in his mouth, and rip his tongue out.
Wait a minute–no mouth.
Never mind…
They aren’t strips, but I think a special place needs to be reserved in hell for all South Park characters and Beavus & Butthead;
Better yet, feature them on Celebrity Deathmatch, have them kill each other off, and then cancel the ‘shows’.

The one I really hated was DONDI! -I know, he’s been gone for a long time, but just had to mention it. Supposedly, he was an italian orphan from WWII-brought home by a kindly GI, and adopted. Of course, it was hard to accept a 7-year old WWII orphan in the mid-80’s. Plus he had those dot eyes-probably grew up to be a Charles Manson type

Family Circus – All of them
The "Love Is’ kids
Peppermint Patty, Marcie, and any of the Peanuts characters since they came along.
The Rose is Rose strip.
Fox Trot all of them
I could go on…But I won’t
Cathy!!! I hate that strip. Was it Dr.Jackson above that said “and Aunt Frizzi can come live in my house”? Amen to that. While you’re at it, invite Brena Starr Reporter over too.
The Lockenhorns. There is something so utterly wrong with that cartoon. It just exudes this aura of shag carpet, Harvey Wallbangers, eight tracks cassettes and cheap polyester suits. It is an icon of everything digusting about the 70s.
Mallard Filmore, that idiot Republican duck.
The Born Loser - this is supposed to be funny?
Sample of Born Loser humor (spread out over 3 panels) : “Dr Cech gave me a lecture … He said I had to get serious about counting my calories … So I bought a calculator!”

B.C. is usually pretty crappy too. I’m about sick of that stupid stone tablet being passed across the sea. And the sappy poems that show up every once in a while in the Sunday strip? Give me a break!
