Was I supposed to say whether I read them on line or not? I don’t - husband gets three newspapers a day - the kind made of paper. I read them in that. ---

I read many of the comics mentioned here, but one I love that is not mentioned, so far as I see, is **Jump Start**. If you are not familiar with it take a look. There’s a lot of characters in an extended family, so figuring out relationships can take a while, but it’s funny. One of the only comics I know that has a black/white married couple. There may be others, but our dead tree paper doesn’t carry them. I still pine for Bloom County and Calvin and Hobbes. ---

I’m the guy who keeps MARK TRAIL from going away. The same beautiful nature comic strip art, like RICK O’SHAY (RIP), with a miserable melodrama plot. A Comics Curmudgeon favorite. ---

Apparently, I’m starting to follow Luann semi-regularly. Not every strip, but I catch up every now and again. ---

Get Fuzzy (which seems to be in reruns ������) , Luann, Baby Blues, For Better or For Worse (reruns) , Family Circus… I love Mutts SO much, and Jump Start is often fascinating. Curtis, an 11 year old black kid, is often touching/maddening/hilarious. Oh, and Mother Goose and Grimm, Peanuts, …I look at all of them. Except Gil Thorpe, I loathe that one ---

The only newspaper strip I’ve read in years is Pearls Before Swine, online. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-what-newspaper-comic-strips-do-you-read-follow-regularly/738314.md?page=1)
