[http://www.sinfest.net](http://www.sinfest.net) If you want to start from a first strip (like any proper webcomic should be read), then [http://www.sinfest.net/d/20000117.html](http://www.sinfest.net/d/20000117.html) is your address. ---

For far out weird, I like "[Red Meat](http://www.redmeat.com/redmeat/) ". Also, “this modern world” and “zippy” are pretty good. all time faves: the far side Doonesbury (20 years ago, only see it rarely now) Dilbert Blondie Eyebeam (I don’t think this one ever made national synd.) Life in Hell (a matt groening comic, before the simpsons) All time worst: Apartment 3-G Mary Worth Family Circus Snuffy Smith Nancy ---

Another vote for [Megatokyo](http://www.megatokyo.com), although I’m not always sure what’s going on (I like it for the art and because I like Japan, but I’m not a gamer so a lot goes over my head). I will strongly recommend [Wigu](http://www.wigu.com). Here’s the [first strip](http://www.wigu.com/?date=20020107) to get you started. It’s nifty. Hmm . . . anyone like [Cat And Girl?](http://catandgirl.com/index.cgi) I love [this one](http://catandgirl.com/view.cgi?24) in particular. " . . . cheeeeeesequaaaake . . ." ---

Comic strips…yay! 😃 Favorites: Zits - totally my brother Frazz - just too cute (They actually used “Islets of Langerhas (or however it’s spelled” in one of hte comics. It’s some part of the body related to the liver that my roommate had to learn our first year of college. I thought she said “eyelids of langerhans” and laughed until I cried. I was so excited to see it mentioned I cut out hte comic and we put it up in our apartment. _grin_) Sinfest - best web comic ever Chopping Block - web comic only for those with stronger stomachs [Chopping Block](http://www.choppingblock.org) Lizard - interesting fare [Lizard](http://www.lizardcomics.com) Jumpstart - Just good Baby Blues - Zoe is so me sometimes! Crankshaft - the flashbacks drawn like old photos are cool The Boondocks - pointed commentary And, of course, For Better or Worse - I’ve been reading that comic since I was a child and have grown up with Elizabeth. I even remember when Farley, the dog, died. \*sniffles ---

There aren’t any good comic strips anymore. Maybe **Curtis** but it appears “urban” strips don’t fly out in the sticks of Colorado. All the other strips that were worthwhile are defunct. ---

Current favorites: Zits For Better or For Worse Dilbert Baby Blues Shoe (Still in print, though, sadly, MacNelly’s gone) Mother Goose and Grimm Non Sequitur (my vote for successor to The Far Side) Gone and much lamented: Calvin and Hobbes The Far Side All Time Favorite: Li’l Abner (Al Capp was a satiric genius!) ---

**Bloom County** forever. And I’m in the UK, where it was hardly ever syndicated anywhere (shame on us), so I’ve had to buy the books and compilations. ---

Get Fuzzy For Better or For Worse (I kind of have a connection with Elizabeth–I go to the same university as her, so every year they bring out the wood cut-out of her) Zits FoxTrot Baby Blues-I even, when I get a chance to, watch the cartoon on Teletoon And along with everyone, I despise FAMILY CIRCUS _shakes fist at Bil Keane_ ---

When I was growing up, my favorites were definitely _Peanuts_, _Crankshaft_, and _Garfield_. About high school, I started following _Luann_ and _Funky Winkerbean_ as well. Sadly, I haven’t followed these strips in years. I pretty much stick to webcomics. [Keenspot](http://www.keenspot.com) hosts most of the ones I love. Among them are College Roomies From Hell!!!, It’s Walky!, Melonpool, RPG World, The Class Menagerie, Avalon, Real Life, Sinfest, and Ashfield (formerly ?). Off of Keenspot, I read [The Life of Riley](http://www.clanbob.net), [Reality Glitch](http://www.realityglitch.com), [Stubble](http://www.stubblecomics.com), and [What the Hell?](http://www.wthcomics.com). I apparently have a webcomic obsession. 😃 ---
