Garfield's just....awesome

Although I'm not sure about his movie (already out here in the U.S.)


I think I am the one who have the bloody Boy Scouts the idea to make products along with Garfield after I asked them to say a little something on Garfield. Damn them for giving me no credit. Damn them.

Garfield for me, awsome movie to lol

CALVIN AND HOBBES

ahh i used those books as my readers in kindergarden and first grade... loved 'em since.

when i was 6, i thought i was going to marry calvin.
my logic was this:
he is 6, i am 6.
he likes tigers, i like tigers. hey, i even have a cat named tiger.
he likes cookies, i like cookies.

it was meant to be.

Recently, garfield has sucked balls. OMG, he's hungry! OMG, he's sleeping!

HOLY CRAP THAT'S SO ORIGINAL!!!

All I'm saying is that the author could maybe mix it up a little?

spiders, mice, Arlene, Jon, Odie...

ucomics.com should have Garfield...

How are we alike, me and Garfield? Well...here's one way

It's still the same thing over and over.

thanks I'll check it out later

i have to agree there, garfield is tiringly redundant.
i used to like it.. then.. well.. its all the same.
and its never funny.

yeah.

calvin and hobbes calvin and hobbes

Yeah, how could you leave out Calvin & Hobbes?

You're right, Garfield is basically a million variations of about five or six strips (he eats, sleeps, watches TV, and kicks Odie, what am I missing?). Every once in a while he'll get a good one. I've heard Jim Davis doesn't even write them anymore.

Calvin and Hobbes was much better. I suppose you could say it's all 'kill Susie, sleep in class, annoy mom, and wagon rides' but it always still felt original and not like we've seen it a million times before.

Anyway enough of my ranting.

Also, Calvin and Hobbes was intelligent. Calvin was constantly far smarter than everyone else.. getting into everything from politics to social satire to parenthood. Yet, he still couldn't add at all, so maybe that says something about the public school system?

Always admired watterson...

That's the end of my ranting too.

ya, Calvin and Hobes is good

Calvin and Hobbes are good, no doubt.


A pretty damn good tie with Garfield IMHO

C&H.

By far.

http://wigu.com/whenigrowup/comics/wigu20010329.png

A vastly superior comic, one with differing stories.

ow thats good

Here's one I like:
http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ch/1993/ch930607.gif

ya its one of the better ones, i also like political toons

love calvin and hobbes, love dilbert, also like foxtrot (not as popular, but still funny)


and remember the far side? i have so many calendars and books...

I've always been partial for Freefall: http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff500/fv00465.htm

Oh btw, that drops you right in the middle of the story, but this one just struck me as extra-funny.

Then there's Ozy and Millie: http://www.ozyandmillie.net/2003/om20031027.html

Calvin and Hobbes (man, I miss that little tiger) and Dilbert

I love this strip the most:

Greywollffe has spoken...

King of Spades (http://198.70.62.5/home.asp)
It's a Warlock's Life (http://tswarlock.blogspot.com/)
Warlock's Sanctuary (http://www.angelfire.com/realm2/tomwarlock/)

Mother Goose and Grimm can be frickin hilarious, too.

Bloom County should at least get an honorable mention.
There are a few other good ones now ...
What about The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers?

Heathcliff. He may not be as lazy, but he's drawn just as fat.

Back on topic, my vote goes for Calvin and Hobbes. I even had one of their books. I remember the title was Scientific Progress Goes Boink?.

I wish my brother hadn't torn off the cover.

[most sarcastic sarcasm ever to exist]i think we're all forgetting the true greatest comic strip ever: love is

[/most sarcastic sarcasm ever to exist]


isn't the word "comic" somewhere in "comic strip"? doesn't that imply some remote kind of comedy involved? WHAT IN THE HELL IS FUNNY ABOUT LOVE IS?!!? SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS I'VE SEEN AL GORE BE FUNNIER THAN THAT!!!

Well as long as we're posting comics:

For political humor, it's gotta be steve bell:

Meh, I don't read them, if I do, its usually Dilbert.

Garfield sucks.

Best Comic Strips Ever:

Sherman's Lagoon
http://www.slagoon.com/dailies/SL04.06.13.gif
http://www.slagoon.com/dailies/SL04.06.08.gif


Get Fuzzy
http://www.comics.com/comics/getfuzzy/archive/images/getfuzzy2061008040608.gif
http://www.comics.com/comics/getfuzzy/archive/images/getfuzzy2004060174316.jpg

Holy crap! You've got awesome taste. I'd put Sherman's Lagoon and Get Fuzzy as my two favourite current paper comics.

But I think most paper comics are absolute drek, and I especially dislike how the worst of them won't die.

I'm much more interested in internet comics. Penny Arcade, PvP, 8-Bit Theater, Questionable Content, and Under Power to name a few.

You've gotta admire them. Year after year, month after month, week after week, day in, day out they do it. They find a new way to say the same thing: Little Billie has a hard time making it straight home, the husband is a womanizing alchoholic and the wife a horrible driver, Mondays spiders cute kittens suck and lasagna napping warm spots and food in general are great. Why, the artists behind Family Circus, The Lockhorns, and Garfield are genius' of an unqualified calibur to be able to find so many ways to say the same thing.

C&H have been covered, as well as Bloom County mentioned. That leaves only for me to mention Mr. Boffo:
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/projects/optical/gifs/FunnyMrBoffoUnclearConcept.jpg and The Nieghborhood, which I can't find online....

http://www.ozyandmillie.net/2001/om20010213.gif
Ever since someone posted this one somewhere on this forum, I was hooked :)

I like "Get Fuzzy" a lot.

Personally, I'm more of a fan of webcomics, they seem to be more funny, and a lot more personal. Especially since the serious webcomic artists include other features relating to their comic on their websites.

Yeah, Get Fuzzy has got to be about the funniest, smart comic strip currently in print. And the more you read, the funnier it gets. Top notch.

The best newspaper comic? Gotta be Will Eisner's The Spirit. No contest. But I guess most here are unfamiliar with Eisner's work. Hence the Garfield and C&H.

well for comercial sydication i'd have to say doonsberry.

there are though many webcomics that come to mind.

too many to list them all or choose favorites.

well most of the one's i know or care about are furry, like gene catlow, or freefall. those are a couple of the best.

then there's spoontoon.rootoon.com (not sure if i spelled that right) a favorite little island hideaway archipelligo that i visit from time to time.

underground back in the 70s was of course the fabulous furry freek brothers.

like i say i can't really say as i have any one favorite and i can't remember half the names of all the wonderful ones i think are great

=^^=

www.dragon-tails.com

My all-time favorite comic strip, even if it only is a webcomic. Lots of great gags and really clever.

http://www.dragon-tails.com/comics/020518.jpg

My all-time favourite is Footrot Flats.

Bloom County should at least get an honorable mention.

What about The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers?

You RAWK. Thanks for mentioning two of the best things to hit comic strips. How about Farside, though?

Fox Paws is fun too:

Does anyone here love Peanuts?

Does anyone here love Peanuts?

How can anyone not love Peanuts?
But Dilbert would be my favourite.

Calvin & Hobbes is the best, but i also like: Ernie, Real Life Comics, Megatokyo (webcomics) and some other things that i don't remember right now.

You guys have hit my favorites--Bloom County, Calvin and Hobbes, Doonesbury, Dilbert, Foxtrot--nobody mentioned The Boondocks, though, and that's one of my favorites, especially the recent run where Grandpa is making his own moveon commercial where he's mad about the recent rise in "butt-nekkid men" on his television. Love it.

Peanuts, Dilbert, and Calvin and Hobbes!!

How could I forget Non Sequitur?

http://www.msnbc.com/comics/comics/nq040613.gif

Don't forget
http://www.yenra.com/far-side-calendars/far-side-calendars.jpg

Calvin and Hobbes. Followed by Foxtrot.

I like B.C. and the Wizard of Id; they're good.

But the funniest has to be Far Side. One of my all time favourites:

Mall Monkeys!

Eight Bit Theater!

http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/Groups/35/35432/folders/147825/1098445mmbloomcounty.jpg

Hey, do you think Weebl and Bob count? If not, then i'd have to go with dilbert or Fox Trot or Calvin and Hobbes.

Calvin and Hobbes. Followed by Foxtrot.

1 Cavlin and Hobbes
2 Fox Trot
3 Buckles (sweet comic, gone though)
4 Dilbert
5 Doonsbury
6 Pluggers
...
9000 Garfield

LOL!!!11
8 bit theater is teh h4XoЯ of all web comics. :P

I hate Doonsebury and the Boondocks.

Weebl and Bob should definitely count. It's like a comic, only animated.

Mmm...pie.

(Gaah! How could I forget 8-bit theater?! :shock: )

Dilbert beyond a doubt, mostly because Scott Admas admits he just takes Garfeild comics, adds a few corporate buzzwords and changes the characters. Plagerisim, it's what make America so damn great. :cry:
