POLL: The Far Side
_) (V) (-):
Get Fuzzy is the best thing to happen to the comics page since they removed Nancy!
ChadTower:
Get Fuzzy is pretty good. My current favorite by far is Monty. Always been a big fan of For Better or Worse. Garfield seems to be ramping up to a serious Garfield-world changing event. Can't remember the name of the one with the two little black kids for some reason... also very good.
Greatness: Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts.
Could have been great but ended too soon: Frumpy the Clown.

Two far side comics I remember:
1) The translation of a dog's bark (they all mean "hey!")
2) The picture of a person trying to push open a door which says "Pull" and happens to be the front entrance to a school for gifted children.

Calvin and Hobbes is great. They have two collected volumes at my wife's prenatal doctor's office. Everyone looks at me funny when I laugh (which is often). The snowman ones are the best ever. If you haven't seen them, go look them up.
Foxtrot is pretty darn good, especially for nerds like us. ;) ;D

The Far Side WAS greatness, but the formula has been copied and refined so much over the last 15-20 years that by today's standards, it could be considered "hit or miss"...
