NOTE:
The real answer to #6 is Bloom County, but I’m betting most people will go with the (also excellent) C&H.

Also: D’oh…likely too late.

67

Elendil’s Heir is #50. Sorry, latecomers…

I’ll work at getting this scored this afternoon, unless work clobbers me like they did last week!

68

it ended with Elizabeth’s wedding two or three years ago - shortly before that, Lynn Johnston revealed her husband had left her for a younger woman, and (unrelatedly) she was going to give the comic a reboot and start over from when the Michael and Elizabeth were children and return to the ‘panel-panel-joke-punchine’ format she’d started with.

eta - it’s pretty mediocre now

69

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.

70

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).

71

You think you were conflicted? Imagine how I felt.

72

It’s a reference to the Simpsons episode “Bart Sells His Soul”.

I might have actually placed out of the bottom-five in this one… if I weren’t the 51st entry, that is. :rolleyes: @ me

75

Aww, rats. If I’d picked xkcd instead of Penny Arcade, I’d have had a good shot at #1 this time. Foo.

76

I predict rock bottom on this one.

Yeah, “Garfield 188 B.C.” just ain’t what it used to be. :slight_smile:

Ditto.

(No, not the “Hi and Lois” character.)

80

I’m glad y’all continue to enjoy the Feuds. It’s my pleasure. I’m sorry I don’t have as much time available to devote to them these days.
