    Re: Are comics just not funny anymore?

    Agree with the others about Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, and Zits. Was a Garfield fan too once upon a time (I think the Cartoon show helped with that too).

    But yeah, on the most part Cartoons/Comics have now been replaced by viral videos on the Youtubes of the world.

    If someone wrote a comic where the main character was easily worked up over women's basketball, I would laugh.

    Bizzarro is excellent, and the creator is from Tulsa.

    Pearls Before Swine is the best one out there right now. Get Fuzzy and Sherman's Lagoon are tied for a distant second.

    Liberty Meadows was a riot, but the creator went to self-publishing so he didn't have to deal with syndicate restrictions.

    Comics haven't been the same since Calvin and Hobbes ended.

    Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County and Fox Trot are my favorites, and they all suffered from the same thing, they all got burnt out but refused to let someone else continue, so they quit them, which is why they are so good.

    The original Bloom County, before he went off on that Outland trip, was pure genius. IMO

    Re: Are comics just not funny anymore?

    I haven't read a comic strip in many, many years. Back in the day though when I had a paper route and we'd all read the Sunday comics while we folded our papers up (cause they were actually in color - sometimes) my favorites were Prince Valiant, Gasoline Alley, Alley Oop, Lil' Abner (Daisy Mae was hott), and sometimes Dagwood.

    More than half of the ones y'all are mentioning I've never heard of. Of the newer stuff I do like The Far Side the best I guess.

    As far as comic books goes, the only one I read regularly was Sgt. Rock. Well that and I used to secretly read my sister's Archie and Veronica stuff as well as some Richy Rich.

    I found a bunch of Sgt. Rock comics on eBay a few years back. Took me back to my childhood.
