Your Favorite Print Cartoon Strip

[Spock]

A SMILEY FOR EVERYDAY-NO COMPLAINTS-NO GROUCHES ALLOWED


I love Dilbert, Peanuts and Born Loser.....no comments please
In that vein, what are the Peanuts characters doing now:

Most cartoon characters remain frozen in time. Though
they've been around for more than 50 years, the members of
the Peanuts gang are in some unspecified elementary school
holding pattern. But what if they had been allowed to age
like the rest of us? With apologies to the late Charles
Schulz:

Charlie Brown:
Operates Good Grief Counseling Inc., which specializes in
manic depressives and people who are just having a bad day.
Moonlights as a pitching coach at high school and college
levels. Married to Marcie. They have a roundheaded son who
wears glasses.

Linus:
Developer of Security Blanket Software, which is a hot item
on the New York Stock Exchange. Worth millions but is
actively involved in charitable causes, including the Great
Pumpkin 5K Fun Run every Halloween. The only man who makes
Bill Gates nervous.

Lucy:
Serving her seventh term in Congress. On her third husband.
Claims she hasn't thought about Schroeder in years, but the
background music on her answering machine is Beethoven.

Schroeder:
After years on the classical performing circuit, he runs a
piano bar in Carmel, Calif. Won't let anybody lean on his
piano.

Sally:
Never quite got over being spurned by Linus. Has a cat named
Sweet Babboo. Sells Mary Kay.

Peppermint Patty:
Women's athletic director at a Midwest university. Her
fashion credo: "Sandals go with everything."

Snoopy:
In dog years, he'd be 350. What do you think would've
happened to him? Linus has created an endowment at Daisy
Hill Puppy Farm in Snoopy's memory.

I like Dilbert, and Zippy the Pinhead. I guess because I remember him from the underground. Oh yes, The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, but they only come in comic books.

[Sister Golden Hair]

Moving to the entertainment forum.

[Spock]

..of course, silly me

[Pytt]

I really enjoy Calvin & Hobbes . Best cartoon ever, I think. I also fancy two great norwegian cartoons, M , the story is about the person drawing it. Very hilarious. And Pondus . It's quite big, actualy. Some of you might have even heard about it, though I wouldn't count on it.

[Spock]

Nice to know you get C&H, Pytt. They have their moments for me too.

[Lotesse]

I love Calvin & Hobbes, and Doonesbury, and Dilbert is fantastic! Cool thread, Spock - too bad it got moved to the entertainment forum 'cause now I can't paste pics of comic strips! *sounds of cheering can be heard from the I-have-a-slow-computer section of the moot bleachers*

[Spock]

..joins Lotesse in weeping and gnashing of teeth.

[Hasty Ent]

love Doonesbury and Boondocks, and enjoy the other strips mentioned as well... but Doonesbury and Boondocks share #1 for me

[rohirrim TR]

"Calvin and hobbes", "garfield" and "peanuts"

[TheCheat]

"Zits", "Peanuts", and er.. really just those two are my favorites.

[Finrod Felagund]

HUGE fan of the Far Side, and Calvin and Hobbes

Zits is another funny one.

[Lotesse]

Bloom County.

Peanuts, Freak Brothers, 40 year-old Hippie, Wonder Warthog, anything by Hunt Emerson, but the top is definitely If... (those of a non-commie persuasion should look away now):

I really like "Pearls before Swine." Anybody else read that one?

And "Calvin & Hobbes"

[Snowdog]

How could I forget Far Side? I still use an old desk calender pages as note pad. Its cool because you can read the comic again!

Gaffer, I can relate now to the 40 year-old Hippy

I'm sure you know Cherry and Harold Head too?

And as for the Freak Brothers, I wish I still had my Fat Freddies Comic book because it had a classic stand-up comedy routine by the Fat One, with the Cats as teh audience. The 3 foot duck is a classic!

[The Gaffer]

Never heard of Cherry and Harold Head. However, I have a box full of 70s comics stashed in the loft, including Freak Brothers #1-9. You can buy 'em from the Rip Off Press web site, I think.

Did you notice that the ending of O Brother, Where Art Thou? was almost identical to the ending of Grass Roots (the one where they go back to nature and Phineas get elected sheriff)?

[Andúril]

Pretty much only Dilbert, but that's getting lame too.

I didn't notice that as its been awhile since I read most of them. Yes, I looked at the Rip Off Press site, and at those prices it is indeed a rip-off, But I'm glad they are unpretentious. Wish I still had my 50¢ copies, and especially the #3 I had printed on pink newspaper stock because of the great paper shortage back then. It had something to do with a paper mill burning down and prices for newsprint went rocketing. I guess they got a deal on pink!

Harold Head was another underground California hippy comic of the late sixties.

Cherry was the the adventures of Annie, a liberated teen in the sixties. She made an appearance in one of the Freak Brothers comics as Little Orphan Anphetamine.

Doonebury is my all-time favorite; i've been reading it since the 70's - went to law school along with Joanie.

I also like Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Far Side, Life in Hell and in the past couple of years, I've become a fan of For Better or Worse.
