The Comic Strip and Webcomic Thread.

[Lynnie]

I grew up with the Sunday Comics. My dad would get the paper every Sunday and my brother would beg either one of our parents or I to read the comics to him. Once he learned to read, we fought over the comics, and the victor would get to read it first. Hopefully the loser would still have some intact when they finally got a hold of those few pages.

My favorites of all time have got to be

Garfield: Although the earlier ones were funnier, the newer ones still hold some charm for me. And as a cat lover, I can't help but love it. Plus, that silly ol' cat will forever more remind me of my brother's late cat Tommy, since he had a similar no-nonsense personality to Garfield's. We always joked that Garfield was Tommy's hero, and he was trying his best to be just like him.

Luann: I could relate all throughout my teenage years, and now days I'm brought back to those awkward years. Just a typical girly teenage girl, her friends, her crushes, her brother, his friends, his crushes, and their parents having to put up with it all.

Mutts: Any pet lover, especially for dogs and cats, would enjoy this. It's a humorous look into the lives of neighbors Earl the dog and Mooch the cat, both spoiled but sweet, and also many of their little friends. One of the cutest comics ever if you ask me.

FoxTrot: Yup, I'm on the FoxTrot wagon too. Typical middle class family, typical teenage kids, with a genius little brother who's too smart for his own good at times.

Calvin and Hobbes: And of course I'm a big fan of Calvin and his stuffed tiger turned imaginary friend. Such innocence. Such fun!

Peanuts: My mother absolutely LOVES Snoopy and Woodstock, and she raised me to love them as well. I grew up with the shows/movies, and of course the comics. They're more quaint than humorous I suppose, but I still love them. That little beagle and his birdy friend are just too cute!

And last but not least-
Retail: This comic cracks me up!! Us retail drones will all empathize with this. To the point of being scary. The creator Norm Feuti also wrote a HILARIOUS book about life working in retail. Only recently did I realize that Seattle is one of few places where the comic actually makes an appearance, which makes me sad because it's truly a great strip. So I doubt anyone has heard of it. Well, now you have! So along with the link above, here's the wiki about it, with all the fun facts.
