Inspired by this thread.
I still like Prince Valiant – it’s as good as it ever was.
I like Dilbert (yes, I know a lot of Dopers hate it).
And . . .
That’s all I’ve got right now.
Well if you include strips I at least tolerate, that makes it too large to count. It would be easier to list the ones I can’t tolderate: any of the soap opera ones, Family Circus, Dilbert…
Comics I tolerate? That doesn’t sound like a very interesting list.
The ones I have to read daily are Funky Winkerbean (the band geek in me lives for the band storylines), Get Fuzzy (my Binkley-dog IS Satchel, I swear!), Doonesbury, and Dilbert. Weekly I must have my Opus fix.
I get a mild kick out of Red and Rover, Zits, and Marmaduke, but it doesn’t destroy my day to miss them.
My favorites are
Shermans Lagoon
Get Fuzzy
Overboard
One Big Happy
Pearls Before Swine
Foxtrot
Calvin & Hobbes
The Far Side
The Order of the Stick
They replaced Cathy with Lio. I love it. I also like Dilbert, and Get Fuzzy is frighteningly similar to my life.
If we’re counting web comics, then:
PvP
VG Cats
Nodwick
Full Frontal Nerdity
Order of the Stick
You Damn Kid
The Beevnicks
Also:
Foxtrot
Mr. Boffo
Pearls Before Swine
and, uh… :dubious:
The only ones I buy the collections anymore sort of define which ones I hold in higher regard.
- Get Fuzzy- my favorite one out there now
- Doonesbury- been following it since it first hit the newspapers
- Dilbert- I just like Wally a lot
- FBOFW- doesn’t really count, I buy the collections for Mrs. Mercotan.
I of course own the hardbound collections for C & H and Far Side.
Can we count web comics?
My favorites are Narbonic, Penny Arcade, and Pvp. Narbonic is great.
I now actively hate Funky Cancerbean, or at least the endless Lisa storyline.
I do miss terribly Liberty Meadows.
The only comics I read are webcomics, so hopefully you’re including those. As far as the list goes, in no particular order:
Sinfest
Shortpacked! and predecessors It’s Walky! and Roomies!
Looking For Group
xkcd
Scandal Sheet (as written/drawn by our very own Chef Troy)
Candi
Dark Legacy
I also still read Sluggy Freelance, although I’m definitely crossing over into merely tolerating it. Pete has more issues with wrapping up storylines than the writers on Lost.
I know I’m not the only Frazz fan here. It’s nearly as good as Bloom County and Calvin and Hobbes were in their primes (and very similar in tone to C&H).
Other favorites are Non Sequitur, Zits, and PreTeena.
And I still read Dilbert out of habit, but it’s pretty much completely run its course by now, I think.
On the webcomic side, I think my favorites are xkcd and Piled Higher and Deeper, both of which sometimes leave me wondering where the surveilance cameras watching me are. I also follow 8-Bit Theater, Nodwick, Full Frontal Nerdity, Goblins: Life Through Their Eyes, and Jack.
Get Fuzzy
Frazz
Pearls Before Swine
Doonesbury
Lio
9 Chickweed Lane
Dilbert
I make it a point to go to comics.com every day and read 9 Chickweed Lane, Candorville, Captain Murphey (although not for much longer), Frazz, Get Fuzzy, Pearls Before Swine, and Rudy Park.
On Mondays, I check out the latest Opus.
In webcomics, I read Something Positive, Order of the Stick, and Erfworld.
I keep looking for Milholland to pick up the storylines of Midnight Macabre and New Gold Dreams.
Print comics I read daily are:
Ballard Street
Drabble
FBOFW
Garfield
Get Fuzzy
Luann
Non Sequitr
One Big Happy
Pearls Before Swine
I am also a big fan of C&H and Far Side and I own the entire collection of both comics.
Web comics I read daily are:
Twolumps
Questionable Content
Punch An’ Pie (Sequel to Queen of Wands, which was fantastic and I am sad she ended the storyline)
Penny Arcade
Some ones I like:
Dilbert
Get Fuzzy
Brewster Rockit (recently picked up by the Washington Post after they finally cleared out a few fossils)
Zits
Pearls Before Swine
Frazz
And since the web seems to have spread to cover webcomics:
Order of the Stick
Erfworld (apparently on hiatus this week; the artist got married on Saturday)
Nodwick
Dork Tower
Full Frontal Nerdity
Pibgorn! Currently between web publishers but returning soon, Pibgorn owns my heart.
Also:
Foxtrot
Doonesbury
Mary Worth (it’s much funnier than Cathy or Garfield…)
Get Fuzzy
Monty - I can’t believe more Dopers aren’t into this, I thought it was exactly the geek-humor thing that was more popular here than in the world at large.
Also into:
Betty
Big Nate
Crankshaft
F-Minus
Get Fuzzy
Piranha Club
Sherman’s Lagoon
I read all the Tribune comics every day, even the ones I hate. Ones I usually enjoy:
Dilbert, Zits, Mr. Boffo, Frazz, Mutts, For Better or For Worse, Lio (rookie of the year!), Classic Peanuts, Get Fuzzy, Doonesbury.
