Quote:...yeah, back before it got all cuddly and PC and introduced all the useless minor characters, it was quite the sadistic, hilarious comic. I'd say the golden era was from 1950-1976ish. The early comics, while their style wasn't refined, are still great. Charles M Schulz was great! The amount of work needed to draw 18,000 or so comics is huge, but he managed to do it over 50 years.

As great as Peanuts was, Calvin & Hobbes is still the pinnacle of newspaper cartooning, imo.

Calvin & Hobbes and Bloom County were FANTASTIC. But Peanuts set the standard 30 years prior.

C&H vastly improved on the Peanuts "template."
And then "The Far Side" took a completely different (but almost equally magnificent) approach. Today, the only comic worth reading is "Pearls Before Swine." Its post-modern moments are arguably its best. Quote:In Jr. High School, I would take a gummi bear, squeeze its ears into points so it looked like Yoda, and then I would say to it "Eat you, I will!".

Sometimes "Bizzaro" is excellent, and sometimes it misses. There's one of a couple, the man has a hippie in his arms in the act of throwing him, and his wife says "No, that's Keith Richards!" The caption says "people in glass houses." HILARIOUS.

Calvin and Hobbes will always be my favorite.
 Did anyone catch the Pearls Before Swine reference in CCLP3? 
Man, the only comics I used to read were from France and Belgium: Asterix, Cubitus and Boule & Bill
Over here, it was Garfield. I loved Garfield.
Hello'v'ryone's'is' rockdet Ænigma Mælström (any word with æ because it's funny), master of non sequitur buckets!

Quote:Over here, it was Garfield. I loved Garfield. Random/Silent/Invisible Garfield might be even better than Calvin & Hobbes. Can't say I'm nearly as fond of the "uncut" version.
