American-style funnies, definitely Dilbert. Comic book, a tie between Hellboy and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. Japanese comic, tie between Naruto and xxxHolic (pronounced Holic; the Xes are supposed to be multiplication signs).

American style cartoons, tie between Pinky and the Brain and Futurama. Anime, a tie between Naruto, GunXSword (a paean to married love!) and Solty Rei.
 
Dilbert
Calvin & Hobbes
The Far Side
Fox Trot

Anybody here ever see Jack Kovalic’s “Dork Tower”, about geeks? God I wish that comic wasn’t about me. Then there was the classic Yamara, that ran in Dragon magazine for years: that rocked.

And then there’s Azumanga Daioh, which is a four-panel gag manga–i.e., a comic strip.
 
I agree with most of the above-posters, but also wish to put in a vote for Mallard Fillmore - interesting, well-illustrated political strip. Love some of the points made in it.

I also like User Friendly, the geek webcomic, but can’t recommend it for everyone because there’s a fair amount of trashy language and behavior in it. 😦
 
Comic strips I love:

Calvin and Hobbes
Get Fuzzy
Bloom County
Li’l Abner
Mallard Fillmore (I am him)
Pearls Before Swine
B.C.
 
Favorites:

Peanuts
Family Circus
Bloom County
(still have Opus and Bill the Cat dolls somewhere)
Rose is Rose (Rose, Jimbo and Pasquale–me, my hubby and my son… we even have a Peekaboo cat!)
**Zits **(because now my Pasquale is a teenager…)
Foxtrot
**Funky Winkerbean **(okay, I know it is a four-panel soap opera, but I’ve been following Les and Lisa’s romance since they were in high school and I’m going to be a wreck when Lisa dies!)
For Better or For Worse (I know that life!)

Least Favorites:

Doonesbury (always has been, always will be)
Mary Worth (I say toss her and bring Foxtrot back!)
 
comic strip? probably dilbert. i also love the far side although it’s not really a strip per se.

cartoon? probably ren and stimpy. hilarious, irreverent. still funny as i grow older, but in a different way. had a lot of crude humor, subtle sex jokes, but it was very classy in its presentation. it was a very old school tex avery-esque show. the best artwork, by hand. the use of classic cartoony soundtracks. it’s a great show. maybe that’s why it’s so great. it was this subversive crude show disguised as a neo-classic kids’ show.
 
In no real order.
Footrot flats.
snake.
Andy capp
b.c
wizard of id

Calvin and Hobbes! I have 2 of their comic books. They never fail to get me cracking up when I am bored or upset:D
 
Mallard Filmore (politically incorrect…therefore would upset a flaming liberal)

For Better or Worse…Heartwarming to watch the family grow, grandparents die or become aphasic, dog die saving the life of a child, and the dating relationships

Baby Blues

Jump Start…cute strips with the twin babies talking in the womb and talking to each other after they are born

Family Circus

“You know, Arthur, when Evil is afoot and you don’t have any arms, you gotta use your head. And when Evil is ahead, and you’re behind, you’ve gotta do the legwork! But, when you can’t get a leg up, you gotta be hip! You gotta keep your chin up and kick some…” - The Tick, Episode 16, Season 2, “Armless but not Harmless”
