Me too. Of all the really old strips, this is the one that has aged most gracefully, for some reason. (Maybe it’s Dagwood’s timeless hairstyle?)

Big Bizarro fan – at it’s best, it’s far and away the funniest strip, reaching Calvin & Hobbes heights. I unfortunately only get it on Sundays.

In descending order of frequency & heights of funniness:

Bizarro  
Monty  
Boondocks  
Foxtrot  
Dilbert  
Doonesbury  
Sherman’s Lagoon  
Zits (the artwork is often the best part)  
Brewster Rockit

**Alex**. Cartoon strip in the _Daily Telegraph_\* all about the life and times of a merchant banker and associates. Format is a four-frame cartoon in which the point of the first three frames is to make you think they are talking about something, and the fourth frame reveals it was something else… it’s much harder to describe than experience.

**Andy Capp**. A classic. And quite a complex character.
