CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

After reading the "Do you read american comics" thread and noticing several people saying only the funny pages in the news paper, I thought I'd get everyone's favorite strips.
Mine:
Classics:
Peanuts: I grew up on Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy, Peppermint Patty and the gang. There is a lot in those old strips for adults as well as kids.
Calvin and Hobbes: Big surprise. Watterson is definately one of the greatest comic creators of all time. Calvin embodies our society frighteningly well, and just like us, doesn't always get why he's wrong.
The Far Side: One line sums up the greatness of Gary Larson "It's a fax from your dog, Mr. Dansworth. It looks like your cat."

Fresh meat
Zits: It's nice to know that even now in high school, it's all the same, only the names have changed.
Get Fuzzy: Garfield on acid. A socially inept owner, a stupid but lovable dog, and a concieted, thinks he knows everything cat.
Baby Blues: parenthood is only funny when it's not your kids.

Honorable mentions
Family Circus, Beetle Baily, Garfield, Hagar the Horrible, Dilbert.

A comic my gf gave to me as a birthday card:
Read it left to right, top to bottom.

My own favourites (omitting web comics):

Defunct:
Outland/Bloom County
Calvin & Hobbes
The Outcasts
The Far Side

Current:
Foxtrot
Sherman's Lagoon
Doonesbury

Hmmm...

The Far Side
Dilbert
Get Fuzzy

Politics:
Non Sequiter
Doonsebury
This Modern World

I don't really read any of the comics in the papers now, but I am a big fan of Calvin and Hobbes, and The Far Side. I own most of them in book form.

Calvin and Hobbes is the greatest. The Far Side comes in a close second.

Add to most of the others I've seen here:

Curtis
For Better or for Worse
Pickles
Marvin
FoxTrot (see sig space)
Pearls Before Swine
Sally Forth
Mother Goose & Grimm (used to go by Grimmy sometimes)
Hagar the Horrible
BC (Christian author if you didn't know)
Wizard of Id

The Boondocks can be pretty good at times, though I wouldn't lose sleep if they took it out of the paper.

The Funnies, it's the main reason I get a paper.

My personal favs...

Foxtrot
Zits
Calvin and Hobbes
Dilbert

Yet, my all-time favorite.... is the online comic... Dork Tower!

Bloom County and Outland were great. Definitely my favorite comic strips. And apparently, Berke Breathed has come out of retirement to do another one, "Opus". I saw it in the Sunday paper a couple weeks ago, it was pretty good.

Oh yeah, I forgot "BC!" He usually does a good Easter message in his comics.

Big Peanuts fan, right here. *points to self* I also like Garfield, BC, Archie, and a few others that I can't think of at the moment. (Some probably already mentioned.)

Calvin and Hobbes
Foxtrot
Peanuts

Ah, Foxtrot. I had forgotten about that. It's one of my favorite.

Both BC and Wizard of Id are by the same author, and at times some of them are pretty good. The Christian messages can also be appreciated.

Foxtrot! I knew there was at least one I was forgetting that should have been on the list.

All time Favs:
Dilbert
Foxtrot (I love Jason the most)
Calvin and Hobbes

These were also comic strips in my home country:
Asterisk
Modesty Blaise
The Heart of Juliet Jones

This is not a comic Strip but absolutely worthy of being mentioned:
Tintin by Herge

To go with this, I present the 2nd half of Monday's Get Fuzzy:

"This Modern World" is pretty biased (nor does it deny it), but still humorous at times. To the writer's credit, he does make fun of every presidential administration.

Here's an example where he actually isn't taking a political side:

I'd forgotten about that one. The website's pretty good too.
