Sure, we have Opus back, but it's just not the same as the old "Bloom County." And there are a few minor players that are okay, like "Fox Trot" and "Non Sequitir."Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11542765697490155242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27176467.post-58195129852565388712006-09-19T16:44:00.000-04:002006-09-19T16:44:00.000-04:00Maybe he will someday return to us with a new comi...Maybe he will someday return to us with a new comic... maybe.MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984793682474594967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27176467.post-23332221254783761462006-09-19T14:02:00.000-04:002006-09-19T14:02:00.000-04:00I too mis my daily hit of Spaceman Spiff and the t...I too mis my daily hit of Spaceman Spiff and the transmogrifier. I have keppt all my collections and hope to introduce them to a young one of my own sometime in the future. <br /><br />I also miss Opus and Bill the Cat, but I agree that it would be hard to rerun them now as they were so of its time. My yearbook said my likely destination post high school would be Bloom County.<br /><br />Nobody is really hitting those heights these days. Dilbert has its moments, but is too focused on the cubicle. I like Sherman's Lagoon and Get Fuzzy, but they don't have the depth of Calvin and Hobbes. I suppose that is a testament to the brilliance of Bill Waterson.poppedculturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489589165185325301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27176467.post-83733372210173881762006-09-19T14:00:00.000-04:002006-09-19T14:00:00.000-04:00jess: There are still Peanuts strips that I rememb...jess: There are still Peanuts strips that I remember virtually verbatim from 20 years ago so I think that may also have something to do with my opinion on the matter. <br /><br />I think the comics of the internet really pushed surreal out there, so that could also have something to do with the Far Side not seeming to be what it once was.<br /><br />Dutchy: I don't think I am in the same league as those guys. I'm not even in the same sport.<br /><br />Foo: Well, work situations are pretty universal, so it is a highly relatable comic as well. <br /><br /><br />In thinking about topic, I had forgotten about the gentle <a href="http://www.blondie.com/dailies/index.asp?month=9&year=2006&comic=2006-9-14">Blondie</a> as well.MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984793682474594967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27176467.post-30724010880165020042006-09-19T13:09:00.000-04:002006-09-19T13:09:00.000-04:00I love Calvin and Hobbes! use to read them all the...I love Calvin and Hobbes! use to read them all the time when i was growing up (was as mischievous as him too) - i didn't realise Watterson didn't do comics anymore. I thought he was into doing books instead as I see tonnes of them at the bookstore. <br /><br />Oh yes, Dilbert is one that will stay for a long long time like a Peanuts comic strip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27176467.post-38759471607155594342006-09-19T05:45:00.000-04:002006-09-19T05:45:00.000-04:00Oh!

As far as I'm concerned, it's just the perfect comic strip.<br /><br />I went through a period where I was really into <I>The Far Side</I>, but it doesn't seem as unique as it once did as absurdist humor has become more and more common.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27176467.post-80359111117559593302006-09-18T23:59:00.000-04:002006-09-18T23:59:00.000-04:00Well, the end of 1995 was a dark time, as we lost ...Well, the end of 1995 was a dark time, as we lost Berkeley Breathed for a while there too... <br /><br />Granted, his work is a little more... topical than Schultz/Watterson's so his older stuff probably wouldn't fly to well.MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984793682474594967noreply@blogger.com
