No, no, no!! I am asking for comic strips, not comic books or one panel cartoons. I too like Far Side and Kliban and Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman, but none of these are strips.

Oh, sorry,

Yes it is and one of my favorites!

The Far Side appeared on comics pages in newspapers -- that would seem to qualify it as a "comic strip."

My favorites:

Peanuts
Calvin and Hobbes
The Far Side
Bloom County
Pearls Before Swine

 

[chrissaran]

Peanuts, Mother Goose & Grimm, Buckles, Non Sequitur, and Get Fuzzy.

Calvin and Hobbes
Doonesbury
The Far Side
Pearls Before Swine
Get Fuzzy -- arguably the best description of the French National Anthem vs. the Japanese National Anthem ever.
Someone mentioned Bloom County -- Haven't thought about that one in years, but Yes! Count me in on that one, too.

 

[DaddyChoc]

Boondocks

Another great one that isn't seen much any more. Absolutely loved Boondocks.

Mine is obvious, but I also like Dilbert.

Good list. I would add Far Side and Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.

I asked my son the question and his response was: What's a comic strip ?
I told him it was a series of funny frames found in a newspaper.
Then he asked "What's a news...
Never mind.

Doonesbury; always a must read,especially in these times of political turbulence!

 

[Bliss]

Dick Tracy
Blondie
'Lil Abner

 

[Orangutan]

Apartment 3G
Mary Worth
Mark Trail

All episodic and ostensibly dramatic but with plots that are absolutely nutty (though unintentionally so). Best when accompanied by the excellent "Comics Curmudgeon" blog.

Of intentionally funny strips, I tend to gravitae towards the classics like Blondie and Garfield.

 

[Gus Mahler]

Bloom County
Doonesbury
Calvin and Hobbes
Far Side

Doonesbury, before he retired, and when he was still very funny. Or maybe the times are no longer funny.....

 

[StarMan]

Doonesbury is still my favorite, but I have a solid affection for the round-foot comics of Hägar the Horrible and Hi and Lois done by my old friends Chris and Chance. Keep up the good work guys!

For the record, Gary Trudeau still produces a very topical comic strip every Sunday. One would love it if one opposes the Trump candidacy.....
