'Cause Blade told me to.

So what are your favorite comic strips?

I personally love FoxTrot, Dilbert, Calvin, and Peanuts. In that order.

FoxTrot is wonderful, because I can simply read myself. Jason represents my inner geekiness, Roger my stupidity, Andy my love for writing.

Dilbert allows me to read about the workplace. Which I love. Shows the truth of stupidity.

Calvin absorbs me with philosophy.

And Peanuts lets me reminisce.

What are yours?

scmb1 · 2010-05-13 21:03:43

In no order, my absolute favorites are Baby Blues, Zits , and Foxtrot.

I also like Luann and Lola.

Kileymeister · 2010-05-13 21:04:45

FoxTrot
Calvin & Hobbes (close second)
Peanuts
Beetle Bailey
Dilbert

Something like that.

FoxTrot because I love how Bill Amend exaggerates everything and the characters are unique and funny.
Calvin and Hobbes because Watterson can think of the most controversial topics, and he can give a lesson in his strips without getting preachy. It's funny too. Can't forget funny.
Peanuts because its nostalgic and sarcastically funny.
Beetle Bailey because... well... its funny. No real other reason.
Dilbert for the same reason as Beetle Bailey.

Peanuts.

I am studying Charles Schulz for a school project.

FoxTrot is hilarious, and the Dilbert was awesome this week.

Dilbert, Peanuts, Beetle Bailey, and Family Circus, in that order, with Dilbert miles in front of the rest.

True that. The new strips don't have the same soul.

New strips? They're just reruns.

He signed a contract making sure no one could ever continue the Peanuts comic strip.

Did you know Charles Schulz hates the name Peanuts. He said it was confusing, and undignified, he thinks his humor has dignity. (Unexpertly quoted, except in third person.

I just looked it up. He wanted it to be called Li'l Folks, but changed it because it was close to some other names.
