> [@Hal\_Briston](#): > > The real answer to #6 is _Bloom County_, but I’m betting most people will go with the (also excellent) _C&H_. Actually, the real answer to #6 is _Frazz_. It’s a crime that more people don’t know about/read this strip. Okay, maybe _C&H_ and _Bloom County_ (almost wrote _BC_–ugh!) are better…I love them both. But for comic strips currently being published, \*Frazz \*is in their league, IMO. ---

I wouldn’t say that Frazz is the best comic ever, either, but I’ll agree that it’s the best currently-running (and swimming and biking). ---
