I gripe about crappy comics in the paper. So, I will pretend that I am a newspaper comics page editor and share my line-up. I read a lot of these comics on a regular basis and others I read occasionally. Several comics that I read regularly do not appear on this list.
In no particular order, my fantasy comics line-up:
- Tom the Dancing Bug
- Too Much Coffee Man
- Brewster Rockit
- Ink Pen
- Pooch Cafe
- Red Meat
- Rhymes With Orange
- Six Chix
- Spot the Frog
- Zippy the Pinhead
- Lio
- Bad Reporter
- Bob the Squirrel
- Pearls Before Swine
- Frazz
- Moderately Confused
- Over the Hedge
- Watch Your Head
- Brevity
- Candorville
- Cow and Boy
- Dog Eat Doug
- F Minus
- Herman
- Jump Start
- Liberty Meadows (it's in reruns but the art is worth looking at again and again)
- Off the Mark
- PC & Pixel
- Working It Out
- Soup to Nutz
- Little Dee
- Go Fish
- Dilbert
- 9 Chickweed Lane
- Ballard Street
- Bizarro
- Doonesbury
- Get Fuzzy
- Monty
- Mother Goose & Grimm
- Mutts
- Non Sequitur
- Pardon My Planet
- Piranha Club
If a newspaper ever ran just those comics at a reasonable size and got rid of the crap comics, I would buy a subscription, regardless of the paper's location.
You can find these comics online at
GoComics.com,
Comics.com, and
The Houston ChronicleSpeaking of comics:
No, Mary is not speaking to Dr. Jeff Cory but it's funnier to pretend otherwise. Also serves as a nice icon.
Ziggy wears underwear? Tom Wilson's cultural references become more recent. This one is only a decade old. At this rate, Ziggy's crazy lady astronaut diaper gag should appear in 2012.
THEY KILLED
STARBUCK!?! I'm merely a fan and no longer part of
fandom, otherwise I would have watched that episode of
Battlestar Galactica that I recorded sooner and I would have known about
Starbuck sooner.
AggieCon 38 is happening and I don't care.
