POLL: The Far Side
Texasmame:
There was an article in USA Today about Gary Larson today and it got me thinking - just how great was The Far Side. Then, I figured I'd just ask you guys instead of doing all that thinking.
:cheers:
mrhowell:
The Fare Side was very good. Bloom County was the best.
hypernova:
I'm not voting. It won't make a difference anyway. ;)
Far Side and Calvin & Hobbes.
The best non-political current one is Dilbert. Political ones vary market to market. We don't have Bloom County out here, just Doonesbury. Sometimes it's funny, most times it ain't.
I find Get Fuzzy to be quite funny.
Marmaduke sucks. Someone needs to kill the woman who draws The Dinette Set. Seriously. That isn't funny. It's never funny. I don't see how any old person can find that funny or even care. It'd be different if they were witty observations. But they aren't. They're just insipid, pointless observations with no real comedic value whatsoever. :banghead: It isn't in our local paper, and never was, thank God. Is it still in the major ones?
Texasmame:
To paraphrase Ignignot - "Marmaduke has always sucked."

I love the Far Side, so many brilliant comics. Anyone remember the farside tv special? Great stuff. Another of my favorite comics is Fox Trot, its one of the few (non-online only) comics that often deals with video gaming and technology. Penny-Arcade would be my current favorite of online only comics.
