Ok I cannot figure out how to copy this from the book I have, so I will have to relate my all time favorit.

Old B.C. strip from the late 60's

BC comes up to Thor, who is wearing an outlandish get up with star sunglasses, beard, beads, etc.
BC "What's with the get up?"

Thor "I am a part of a society that rejects all forms of conformity that society tries to impose on us."

BC "OK. But, what's with the get up?"

Thor "It's our uniform."

"Calvin and Hobbes" and "The Far Side" are among my favorite comics.

One "Peanuts" strip I like but haven't been able to find online shows one of the kids out under a starry sky saying something like, "56,286...56,287...56,288." Charlie Brown comes up and says, "What are you doing?" The other kid doesn't answer but begins counting again, "1...2...3..."

I also like the strip that Dr Elwin Ransom currently has in his signature:

I always save 'Zits' to read last in the newspaper :) Typical teen...

I love the comic strips. I enjoy reading them every morning. Let's see my favorites...: "Peanuts" (a classic is always good), "Funky Winkerbean" and "For Better or Worse" (for their humor and serious sides as well), and for reasons I'm not entirely sure of "Blondie" and, on occasion, "Garfield".

My absolute favorite though is "One Big Happy". Ruthie is absolutely hysterical.

One of my favorite web comics is Hyperbole and a Half. I also like xkcd:

Wow, there's someone else who likes (and has actually heard of) Herman! That is still my all-time favorite strip, with Far Side, Get Fuzzy, and Calvin & Hobbes close behind.

Love that karate comic. I gave that one to my instructor one time.

My favorite comic strip would have to be The Peanuts. I've been to the Schultz museum, and the Snoopy Icerena, too. :) That's always fun. I actually saw Charles Schultz at the Icerena, back when he was still alive. Some of my friends even got to talk to him. :D

I've been so behind on my comics ever since we stopped getting the newspaper... anyways I used to read all of them, but my favorites are Peanuts (doesn't everyone ;) ), Zits, Fox Trot, Rubes, F Minus, and my all time favorite is probably Pearls Before Swine...

I like xkcd. It's pretty hilarious!

I seriously want to try this:

And this has gotta be my favorite because of how true it is!

I also like Garfield pretty well and BC. Calvin and Hobbes is pretty funny too.

Ah yes. Calvin and Hobbes, of course. And Foxtrot. Zits when I can get it.

Another favorite is a strip by Alaskan Chad Carpenter: Tundra. The humor is occasionally rather morbid, but Alaskans like it because it often plays on blatant Alaska stereotypes. :D

I read the daily comics everyday ( :ymblushing: ), but I'm not a huge fan of anything but Pearls Before Swine. I can read books and books without end - I especially love the treasuries, because the things Stephen Pastis say's at the bottom of each strip are even more hysterical than the strips themselves. :D
