Angie Cakes Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 does four-panel manga count? if yes, then it's definitely Azumanga Daiohah, why's it so hard to find a strip in english that's actually from the manga?! D:this is close enough. even if it's not from the book (the text is edited), it's the same type of humour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davroth Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 What? McHammer joke in Azumanga Daioh...this is close enough. even if it's not from the book (the text is edited), it's the same type of humour...Oh, that makes a lot of sense, actually.

BlackFang Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Mafalda, hooves down ("but our hooves are always down!") a great radiography of Latinamerican and world's reality since it was written almost 50 years ago, also showing some really lighthearted humor sometimes.

AznAxis Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 I'm a big fan of VG Cats, but that's about it as far as comic strips go. This one in particular makes me d'awww...http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=290 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accountdeleted Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 hmmmm...Calvin and Hobbes, Zits, The far side and The politician. For newspaper comics, that's about it for me.Online, however... xkcd, Housepets, Digger was good while it was going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flutterscotch Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 I liked the Far Side. Sometimes Calvin and Hobbes. For a little bit when I was a kid I liked for Better or For Worse because I was fascinated with the fact that the people in it aged, but even at a young age it was too preachy for me (it's way worse now. It's clearly just the writer's passive-aggressive approach to communicating her displeasure at her actual family sometimes). And I fiercely lived Doonesbury when the cast was just a bunch of hippies, until about the time they started having kids. By then it was more about the politics and less about the silly antics surrounding those with fierce opinions about politics, if that makes any sense. I prefer the really classic cheesy pre 50's ones though, but that's more because this childhood friend of my grandparents, Jimmy (rest his soul) would send my brother and me these extremely epic letters with every square inch filled with comic strip characters like extremity Tracy, Mutt and Jeff, Katzenjammer Kids, Blondie when she was still a flapper *, the Yellow Kid, and any words on it (which were always hilarious insults in Brooklynese. usually about how we belonged in a zoo) In 8th grade. because I was so fascinated with these old characters, my mom bought me this huge book about old comics. I still have it and it drove me to look up a lot of things influenced by these early strips that I otherwise wouldn't have.*Yes, it's true, Blondie was once a vaguely subversive comic strip for the time, which is how it became so popular. She was kind of a floozy. The Dagwood Sandwiches were always there though.I HATE the Family Circus though.As an adult: DieselSweeties (which only ran in papers for 2 years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weesh Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Newspaper strips?I have probably bought fewer than 10 newspapers in my whole life. I remember being sad when Calvin and Hobbs and The Far Side finished though. Nowadays, the only syndicated strip that I would read is Dilbert.For webcomics though, here are some that I keep up with on a weekly basis:Schlock MercenaryWeeshbugcomic.comSurviving the WorldxkcdOrder of the StickSpacetrawlerDarths and DroidsGunnerkrig CourtAnd two Finished works:DiggerDaisy OwlI also like Lackadaisy Cats.This would be amazing if it updated every week instead of 10 total times in 2011.
