I didn't know they were dead.

I liked, when I read them,

Peanuts,
Hagar the Horrible
Far Side
Doonesbury

and that's about it.

My list:

1. The Far Side - agree with you 100% here
2. Calvin and Hobbes
3. Foxtrot
4. Dilbert

I can't think of a 5th one that I like well enough to put on the list. Doonesbury sucks. That is all.


I just don't get Dilbert at all and I don't know why Mr. Meanie likes it. I guess it is because I have never worked in an office before. I like cartoons like Baby Blues. I probably like it because it deals with the stuff that I am more familiar with. I also like The Far Side.

I prefer Sister Meanie to Mrs. Meanie. Just a personal preference.

Interesting. I've always been uncomfortable calling people Brother and Sister. I much prefer Mr. and Mrs.

Well, I figured it would piss off the apostates.
