  1. wow, i remember calvin and hobbes being a lot funnier as a kid.

  2. I think there are funnier strips, but these guys are trying to highlight the variety of strips found in the comic—otherwise you’d have 25 snowman comics.

  3. Calvin and hobbes is still quite funny to me. That list is missing a few comic strips which are vey good. A lot of the snow ones were great.

  4. Calvin & Hobbes was the last great comic strip.

    Bill Watterson was also the one that refused to allow his strip’s space be reduced in all of the hundreds of newspapers it was syndicated in, and in fact, had a requirement that his Sunday Calvin & Hobbes be a certain size and untouched so as to preserve the original layout, otherwise newspapers couldn’t carry the comic.

    Since he stopped doing comic strips, newspapers have gone and bastardized all comics and we’re left with the garbage we have today.

    That and the Sun should learn a thing or two about comic strips from the Montreal Gazette, in terms of quality and quantity. 3 full size pages of comics on Saturday, and you get all the good ones everyday.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
