    Nancy.

    In college we laughed so much at the sheer absurdity of it we'd practically pass out.

    Somewhere there has to be footage of Betty White admitting she dated Sluggo.

    Apropos of nothing, the Jim Davis/Garfield sketch in “I Think You Should Leave” is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

    Calvin and Hobbes is far and away my favorite comic.

    Tank McNamara's still around?
    Loved Non Sequitor, but the local paper dropped it last year.
    But, yeah, Peanuts, Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, and while he's not as close to the news as when it was a daily strip, Doonesbury

    Love Calvin and Hobbes and I was a big fan of Sherman's Lagoon but have to admit I haven't looked at it in years. I was a big Bloom County fan but don't know if it has aged that well when I see old strips online or flip through some of the books I have here.

    I have a soft spot for Bizarro. At least once a week he makes me laugh out loud.

    Good call on Get Fuzzy, folks - that did such a slow fade from my consciousness, but I loved it when it was coming out. It's still my user icon for Steam, and I would clip them from the paper and hang them on my dorm's door. Non Sequitur was also good, but it always felt like an homage to Far Side, and doing a B+ job at it.

    When it comes to meta-comics discussion, by the way, The Comics Curmudgeon is required reading, if any of you folks haven't stumbled across it already.

    First time I check that guy's site out and he is talking about Shoe, used to love that, had no idea it was still around.

    Wow. Same here. The guy who drew it died 20 years ago.

    I’ve had a print of a Get Fuzzy comic framed over my desk for years.

    This is my Steam avatar, and the beauty of Get Fuzzy a lot of the times was that all you needed was a single panel for the jokes to land:
