The first strip I would usually read is Garfield. No question. I also like Jump Start, Cathy, The Boondocks, Dennis the Menace, Beatle Bailey and so forth.

Calvin and Hobbes is really the only newspaper-published comic strip that I occasionally visit online. Otherwise, I just do on-line strips (no real favorite) -- it's been a while since I've actually picked up a mainstream newspaper. I normally just read CNN.com or the local independent paper.

Calvin and Hobbes in in a league by itself. I think that, in the future, it might get more recognition than even the venerable Peanuts. I like it more than Peanuts, anyway.

Mainly Garfield, Peanuts, and Calvin and Hobbes, but since i can only choose one then i chose the latter. When Watterson stopped making the strip i barely even look at the paper any more.

Started with Garfield, but lately Davis has been dumbing down the strip. I can't even read it anymore cause the humor is just...gone.

All time fave strip has to be Calvin and Hobbes. Bold, outspoken, hilarious. Forget Bart Simpson and Eric Cartman, Calvin was, is, and will always be the supreme badass kid.

YES!! I AGREE WITH YOU!!!
The great humour factor in Garfield somewhat dies down already lately...I really wonder why...Davis probably ran out of ideas.

I read alot of Baby Blues nowadays - it is one of the great comic strips that uses humour from simple everyday life - thats what I admire the strip about.

But Peanuts remains my all time favourite...

Peanuts has always been one of my favorite comics... I have a lot of the very early books, and I have Your'e a Good Man Charlie Brown on CD ^^ I was rather upset the day Charles Schulz died. :(

Other favorites of mine are Garfield, and Far Side, very different styles of humor, I know ^_^

In my day if you wanted to sabotage a man you liquored him up put him in a sack and mailed him to the Kaiser!

I used to like those The Far Side things...
Now I'm stuck with Pretzel Logic or Non Sequitur...

Calvin and Hobbes is a good strip, but I'm not a big fan of Bill Watterston. His refusal to release Calvin and Hobbes merchandise irks me, and I remember reading somewhere that he wasn't a big fun of comic books (Irked me even more...).

Used to love Garfield, but that got very dumb very fast.

Farside rocks, and always will rock...:)

Peanuts hands down is my favorite of all time, I love Charlie Brown, I can really relate to him, and Snoopy is great. I also think Foxtrot is an incredible strip. It's not on the list to choose from though, but I woulda chose Peanuts anyway....I was so sad when Charles died...

No doubts about it. Calvin & Hobbes.

It was very good...Watterson did every strip, unlike most cartoonists that use "ghost artists/writers" and just add their signature on the bottom.

P.D.: Me vengaré aunque sea lo ultimo que haga. ¡Lo último que haga!

Oh yes, now that you mentioned it, I used to read Get Fuzzy too...although I do not get the joke most of the time, and I feel that it is somewhat a rip-off from Garfield (just my personal comments), I still think the cat and the dumb dog is funny...

Peanuts rules everyone for free!

I've been a big fan of Charlie Brown and Company ever since my mom used to rent me videos of the cartoon back in the toddler days.

Heh,don't know why,but Marcie's my favorite Peanuts character,followed by Snoopy and Lucy.

I like Get Fuzzy,too.
