Anyone else enjoy daily/Sunday comics? Any favorites?

I LOVE For Better of For Worse. I love that it goes chronologically so we've seen the kids of the strip grow through the years etc...anyway - I just love the animation and such:

I'm tired and bored, and I don't think I ever read For Better or For Worse too much, not enough to realize that the characters aged. Here ya go, if you're half as bored as I.

Hey neat! Thanks - I've never read that - and another interesting note - For Better or For Worse had a "coming out" storyline for a while. The son, Michael had a friend who came out - so he's a gay character in a comic strip :D

I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE Garfield - I had pictures of him all over my room, the phone, the alarm clock and the bed spread :laugh:

But I don't find him funny anymore :( I think Jim Davis needs to put the pen away. The older ones - from the late 70s/early 80s are GREAT - when Garfield was truly fat and well...I like the early Garfield best :)

Get Fuzzy - Buckycat rocks my world

Zits - Walt is the man.

Hmm, difference of opinion then. I find the office humour in Dilbert totally lame. And not so lame its awesome, like the Office, but just lame. Lame.

Ah. I see. Well - guess we can't all love Dilbert :p I think by their very nature most comics are lame -but thankfully there are so many - to touch all tastes!

The lameness of Dilbert is part of the appeal...for me.
