Lost Trail Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Calvin & Hobbes, easily, (our daughters bought me the complete C&H hardbound books to accompany all the soft-bound I already had), followed closely by The Far Side by Gary Larson.

Ramblin Gambler Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Dilbert would be next on my list. Back when Dilbert was young, Scott Adams used to take submissions for story ideas. I sent him a real life tale once of a trip I took with my boss, and for years after I would find comics that I was POSITIVE were inspired by my story. For a couple of years I was printing them out and collecting them. I had at least a dozen in that folder, maybe 2. I also once sent him a list of things my boss had said. He named one of them THE scariest thing a boss had ever said, ever. It was: "I was thinking about you in the shower this morning, and I thought of a nickname for you ... Mathmagician!"

Sixgun Sheridan Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Far Side, Dilbert, and Wizard of ID. One of my favorite cartoons was the King in Wizard of ID up in his tower, issuing a proclamation to the peasants below: "Now all those in favor of my new gun ban, give me a thumbs up". "I said THUMBS!!!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp SASS#1628L Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Peanuts is my all-time favorite, but I also enjoy Blondie, Beetle Bailey, Dennis the Menace, The Born Loser, and Pickles (which I call the Utah Bob Show). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I used to work at Hallmark Cards and got to meet Charles Schulz. And while employed there, I also got to meet Joey Bishop and sat next to him in a seminar of less than 10 people. Interesting people who weren't full of themselves and didn't behave the way "celebrities" do today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first read the strip in the Great Falls, Montana, Tribune while stationed up there back in the late '60's. Followed it until it was dropped by the Denver Post after I finished my tour of duty. We had a full colonel who, when not in uniform, dressed in blue jeans, a black sweatshirt, cowboy boots an a black Stetson hat. He had a thin black mustache (it was a handlebar before the wing commander insisted he trim it). He was one of the finest officers under whom I served. But, guess what we called him when he wasn't within hearing distance>? Also liked Pogo. Walt Kelly's sense of political humor was tops! "We have met the enemy and he is us!"
