My dad and I had this conversation about comics in the newspaper today. He reads ‘em every day. Here are some of his favorites, which I thought would be interesting to share:
- Pickles
- Frank -n- Ernest
- Beetle Bailey
- Dennis the Menace
- Sally Forth
- Crankshaft
- Blondie
- Dilbert
- Cathy
- Family Circus
- Baby Blues
- Pajama Diaries
- Rex Morgan
- Hagar the Horrible
…and here are the comics he doesn’t like:
- Non Sequitur
- Mother Goose and Grimm
- Maintaining
- Garfield
- Bizzaro
- Mutts
- Frazz
- Overboard
- Lio
- Get Fuzzy
An interesting list, to be sure… what are your favorites / least favorite comic strips? How do they compare against what your parents’ enjoy?

P.S. I asked him about my strip – and he says he likes a few of ‘em but most of the jokes are way above his head.
Huh. Of all the ones on that list, I occaisionally read Dilbert, and I love Get Fuzzy. Foxtrot was a favorite as well. I also read PVP, Penny Arcade, PC Weenies, Girls With Slingshots, Questionable Content, and Starslip Crisis on a regular basis.
My dad’s list is interesting in that he gravitates more towards the comics he’s been reading forever in the papers. Out of his list of favorites, Dilbert and Baby Blues are the ones I enjoy. But I also like Get Fuzzy, though I’m not a fan of Hagar the Horrible, Sally Forth, Cathy or Beetle Bailey…
Man.. and G.F. has been pretty good lately! I have several online comics that I read all the time. This one of course since I’m here, but I also enjoy Ctrl-Alt-Del, The White Board, and userfriendly.

I read a lot of comics… All online…
