Definitely:
Beetle Bailey
Blondie
Family Circus
They’re never funny and have been around FOREVER.
I’ll second all three of those.
Also I’d like to add Garfield, it was funny at first but it’s gotten old. Very very very very old.
May I be the first to mention Cathy

[sup]more to come[/sup]
Cathy is the worst.
B.C., Marmaduke, and Hagar the Horrible bite the big one too. The right-wing political cartoon Mallard Fillmore is a festering pile of horse excrement.
The Family Circus
Andy Capp
Various others I retain the right to name later.
For quite a while now, number one on my hit list has been Frank and Ernest. This strip has NEVER made me laugh, the jokes come right out of a second-grade jokebook, the art sucks, and it’s the biggest one in my paper. ARGH!
NONE There aren’t nearly enough now.
The more the merrier!
Even Garfield has a new joke once a month, and if you try to take that from me I’ll hunt you down and cancel YOU. So there!
Kill Familly circus Any Capp and Ernie…UGH.
Bring back Far Side and Calvin & Hobbes though.
(I know…it’s off topic)
I gotta disagree with Max. . . in my paper, Frank and Ernest is the most consistently clever. I hate Sally Forth, though; it’s only redeaming factor is that the punchlines always sound kinda sexual, especially since every characters smirks so damn much.
I can’t believe Snuffy Smith hasn’t been mentioned in the first five posts. . .
-
Keep The Family Circus, if only for those strange and disconcerting panels where the children are communicating with the dead grandparents.
-
Kill PLEASE: Frank and Ernest, The Lockhorns, Curtis, and Hi & Lois.
3.If Garfield is funny once a month, I must be missing that one. I can vouch for the other 30 unfunny ones, however. I beg for its demise.
Sterling North…
No you may not be the first I did in a previous thread a few day ago. Cathy is goddamn atrocious BUT it’s pretty offensive too…
Cathy can go anytime now, same with Sally Forth!
Marmaduke should be put to sleep ASAP.
Stop running Peanuts re-runs, just out of respect for Sparky.
Ernie
Overboard
Garfeild
Geez, I better stop before the funny pages becomes blank all together.
Boondocks - the writer sez anyone who does not like it is either stupid or racist. I think he is both.
Cathy: was funny, now just whining.
Peanuts: seems like even death can’t kill this strip.
The Duplex: perhaps the most sexist strip. Poorly drawn & unfunny.
mary Worth & Dr-whats-his-name, and all those other soap strips.
Dennis the Menace: that poor old man should have either gone postal or sued dennis’s family
Cathy is probably one of the universally disliked strips (tho’ not without good reason).
I kinda’ like Boondocks since I can relate to Jasmine. When Aaron isn’t attacking BET or being political, it’s almost like Calvin and Hobbes.
Others on my death list (that haven’t already been mentioned yet here).
Rugrats (It seems to be entirely composed of bad puns).
Liberty Meadows I used to have high hopes for. Now it seems to be about as fresh as Garfield. (Though I’ll cut Cho some slack; since he’s the only person going after Cathy).
Big Nate.
The last good riff was the “Snoopy and the Red Barron”, and we know how old that song is.
Don’t give us reguritated peanuts! Move over for someone with a new idea. Who needs one more “Lucy can’t get into the baseball sprit joke”? They were all done (and too many then, even) in the first summer he used those groaners.
I don’t think there are any strips I’d particularly miss anymore. Bring back Bloom County (not Outland) and Farside, and save paper and ink on the rest of them.
B.C.
That Fundalooney cr*p that Hart dishes out makes me want to vomit! :mad:
I go to the funnies for a laugh, not a sermon.
I second the B.C. vote… As I read somewhere, it’s only a matter of time before the strip becomes a full fledged sermon/golf joke format.
I’m tired of Cathy and her fitting room. Why does she do that so often? What happened to boyfriends and office stuff? It’s all clothes fitting rooms. One weak joke.
Fred Basset may be the worst comic strip ever. I have never once found it even slightly amusing. It’s about time Garfield, Cathy, Marmaduke, Heathcliff, Beetle Bailey, and B.C. hung it up as well.
