The Peanuts movies are all timeless classics.
The strips, on the other hand, never once
a) made me laugh
b) made sense
c) left me not confused.
They sucked the ultimate fatty.

Calvin and Hobbes, all the way.
Followed closely by the Far Side, and Rex morgan, MD. (jk)

Hmm.. Hard one. I have to say it's a three-way tie between:

1) Family Circus
2) Snuffy Smith
3) Curtis

*hmuf* *snort* YEAH RIGHT!

Seriously.. Snuffy Smith and Curtis suck..

Garfield is one of my favorites, but I'd have to give the Best Comic Strip award to Calvin and Hobbes. Unlike many comic strips out there today, it was always funny. Dilbert and Non Sequitur are pretty cool also. And then there was the short lived Free For All - I thought it was great until it dropped off the face of the earth last year; what happened to it? Also, if I can vote for a panel, I'd have to go with Bizzaro (the Far Side being the runner-up).

[poocat]

oh god oh god BRING IT ON!

calvin & hobbes takes you all!
come on!

i mean, i love foxtrot, i loved the family circus, i love a lot of comics, but...
...seriously, nothing touches calvin & hobbes. nothing!

Bloom County and Calvin and Hobbes are my favorites.

In its heyday ('60s and '70s) Peanuts was a truly great comic strip. In the '80s and '90s it was still pretty good, but in those early years it was ground-breaking. That's why comic strip writers hold Charles Schulz in such reverence. I have the golden anniversary coffee-table book; it's great.

Hasn't Garfield recycled the same strips since about 1990?

I admire how Doonesbury has managed to keep its characters fresh after 30-plus years.

I like "For Better or For Worse," but it's lost some of its zip since the kids all growed up.

One of my current favorites is Arlo and Janis ... the dry sense of humor cracks me up.

I gotta hand it to Calvin and Hobbes ofr being so funny, smart, and having the best art ever.
But I also really like This Modern World, which is a hugely funny political cartoon strip.

I'd vote for Dilbert if it wasn't so much like my work-life -- it's so close it gives me the whillies. I'd have to side with those who said Calvin & Hobbes, Bloom County, and Far Side (I think I was the kid in the "School for the Gifted" one).

If you can find them...check out the 'Fat Freddies Cat' strips - IMHO very funny.

[Nonsuch]

Sheesh, you guys ...

Peanuts is simply the best and most innovative strip cartoon ever. Nothing comes close to it. Reading it today (I still do), I marvel all over again at how true and subtle the characterizations are, at how imaginative the situations are (for years it was the most surreal thing on the comics page). The movies and tv specials are but a pale shadow of the real thing.

Calvin and Hobbes, though exquisitely written and drawn (in fact, I would say it's the best-drawn strip since the "golden age" of people like Winsor McCay--Watterson's pen should be in the Smithsonian), would not have been possible without Peanuts' influence.

Bloom County is still a favorite, though the topical humor definitely doesn't date well. I recently reread some old collections and was reminded how of-their-time the strips were. (Edwin Meese jokes, anyone?) But the strip has a good soul and that's what helps it to survive.

Some strips are excellently drawn but don't really make me laugh, like Rose is Rose or Mutts. Others make me laugh tremendously but aren't well drawn, like Dilbert. Foxtrot is still pretty funny, Luann is still pretty funny. Garfield is a vehicle for selling merchandise and looks like it's being drawn by computer. Sucks. Jim's Journal, though I can see where it's coming from and what it's trying to do, left a bad taste in my mouth. If you think you're too cool to draw a comic strip, don't draw one. Or as Calvin once said, "You just think you're above it all, kid!"

Opinions? I've got a few ...

[rob5243]

how about this cartoon? http://people.ne.mediaone.net/pshaughn/tandr.html

[3gg3]

I certainly miss the brilliant Calvin and Hobbes, but the honour of most strips posted on our fridge over the years goes to Sally Forth.
"Shoe" is a regular read, as is the new "Mukluk". Anyone remember Pogo?

[t6hawk]

I would say Far Side is a great one. The other ones I like are Sinfest, Kevin & Kell (< interesting one), Garfield, and TinTin.
