Copper Bigfoot’s idea. She says:
I like Perals Before Swine, Foxtrot, and Mother Goose and Grimm.
Mother Goose and Grimm is hard to type out…. anywoof, I loved how they made fun of the fact that the new nintendo is going to be called “Wii” pronounced “Wee”
It’s not its called the Revolution (nerd here).
But anyway I like comic strips to…Get Fuzzy is awesome.
OMG, non sequitor!!! danae is my hero! i have a picture of her screaming STUPID PHYSICS! on my physics folder
get fuzzy is cute
I love pearls before swine. The stupid alligators also cracl me up.
I was perusing my old Calvin and Hobbes books yesterday. It’s fun when you get jokes that you didn’t before because you were to young.
ooh, me lub de ahlligadors ‘oo want to eed mr. zebra!
I like get fuzzy, and fox trot, and baby blues, and non sequitor. I didn’t know most comics were ameri-wide (world wide, ameri-wide, ha ha). oh well, you learn something new everyday.
I like many otehr comics, but this post would get too lengthy and boring.
I’m not sure if I like that swine strip yet. my newspaper just started putting it in, and the first one had some furballs on the floor, and they said some stuf, and I was like, “Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. oh. k?”
But when my newspaper was trying it out, and taking votes on it and a whole bunch of others, (EWWW, they were horrible) I thought it was pretty funny. so I don’t know yet. I guess this has turned lengthy anyways, so I might as well list some others
I like:
for better or for worse, because it’s different
dilbert (not sure why)
doonsberry (cause it makes fun of bush)
NON SEQUitor. I love it.
many others
okay:
garfield.
rose is rose
hate.
DENICE THE MENICE :evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil:
so there you have it.
oh yeah, I also hate marmaduke. so stupid and repetitive.
finally over. a;lsdkjfal;sdkfjdj hee hee. oh, sorry.when my fingers get itired, i do that.
I guess I had a lot to say from being absent so long
Calvin & Hobbes is my absolute favorite, and Baby Blues is my second favorite. For as long as I can remember having some C&H books, I’ve wanted to go live in their world. Imagination used to be as real for me as it was for Calvin, but sadly, turning into an adult is ruining my childhood cheer and creativity.
OH yes, how could I forget!
I LOVE calvin and hobbs. especialy the snow ones, since hwere I live fails to provide me with snow. I’m deprived…sigh
My absolute favorite is Calvin & Hobbes and my 2nd favorite is Foxtrot…….. I LOVE CALVIN AND HOBBES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also have lots of Foxtrot books and lots of Calvin & Hobbes books. I also like Get Fuzzy,and Pearls Before Swine.
For what it’s worth, you’re naming my favorite comic strips, too. It’s eerie how Musers gravitate toward the same things.
I have lots of Perals books, and I might get a foxtrot book.
“Pretty soon kidsall across the nation will be rushing home form school to wii”
Foxtrot is da bomb. Then Calvin and Hobbes, Get Fuzzy, Zits, and Baby Blues. Those are my favs. I LOVE jason (from foxtrot) He’s my hero. Calvin and Hobbes is a big secret (or at least my love of it is) because my lb would go INSANE. (not that he isn’t already) Get Fuzzy is hilarous…i love bucky. Zits is so true, so true. And baby blues…well who needs an explanation?
I heart Dilbert.
I LOVE Calvin and Hobbes.
I also like Bizarro and Foxtrot (they’re pretty much the only good ones my newspaper prints)
The Far Side
Dilbert
Calvin and Hobbs
#1 – Kokopelli & Company
That’s what I preffer.
Okay…..
1- Kokopelli and Company.
2- Calvin and Hobbes
3- Peanuts
4- Foxtrot
Calvin and Hobbes ROCK!!
Since my teacher fails to provide me with a fresh supply of Muses, Calvin and Hobbes is what I make do with.
In first grade I wrote and illustrated a comic book called Super Kitty. Guess what it was about. Yes, Super Kitty. When I look back on it now, all I think is “My god, I drew that well in first grade?!”
3- ha ha thats funny
I LUFFS
bizarro
kokopelli & company
luann
stone soup
zits
non sequitor
baby blues
mutts, just cuz theyre cute ^_^
Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite, of course. Never got to read it in the paper, but I love the books we have of it. Then Foxtrot.
I HATE comic strips that just make fun of how “cute”little kids are, like The Family Circus.
And Garfield.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
ya know whats weird, my teacher now never has muses, but my teacher in first grade had muse. Odd.
Calvin and hobbes thread!!!!
Ya know which one I hate?
ROSE IS ROSE!
It’s gross! Sickening! It’s so over sweet, cute, apple pie-ie! Completely tasteless!
I once wrote this comic strp called “Mighty Moo Cow”. It was kind of a play off of Superman. Mighty Moo Cow’s arch-nemesis was named Pig Delicious.
nowww everyone puts in koko and company. hmmm, well, the genius who started it should get a crown. I personally, being the forgetful person I am, automatically only thought of newpapers when I see the word comic strip. (wordS)
But I must say, my favorite is tied between koko, zits, non seqquitor, fox trot, baby blues, get fuzzy, and many many many many many many many many many many many many many v many many many more. I probably don’t know that many however
My brother used to make comic strips sometimes. They were called “Pansy and Joopy”. I gave him some of the ideas, but he’s the real artist in the family.
My friend got me hooked on Pearls Before Swine, that’s an awesome strip. Very… evil.
I also like Foxtrot, Baby Blues, FarSide, and Pardon My Panet.
And so many others, I’m not even going to bother naming them.
Hello, Artimia! Welcome to MuseBlog! We have a custom when newcomers arrive…
Anyone?
Me!! Me!! okay…………here goes…………
SPLATTTTT!!!!!
That was cherry. Hope you’re not allergic!!!
Good shot! And such a beautiful shade of red.
Oh! Fairydragon (11), you seem to be new, too. Mae govannen! We have a special on cherry today, unless our welcoming committee has other ideas.
Oh! I will!
one cherry and pinapple pie in the face coming right up….
*SPLAT*
congradulations, fairydragon, you are officially a museblogger.
I must get that recipe.
And when I think of the word comic strip, I think of what is in the newspaper of course, but the books called CARTOON HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE too!!!!!!!!!! There are 3 books yet, but a new one will come out.(I think so anyway.) And they are by Larry Gonick.
They are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fourth Cartoon History comes out this fall. October, I think. The publisher will be HarperCollins, which wanted the title tweaked a little to “make it their own,” so it’ll be called Cartoon History of the Modern World, Part I.
Details will go up on my web site in about a month.
i read whatever comics are in the paper. i like non sequiter….
has anyone read marmaduke? personally i think that is the worst comic ever made…
and family circus is bad too…
but i like foxtrot, baby blues, calvin and hobbes, and others… i’m not ALL negative!
I should’ve known Mr Gonick would come to his thread. Now all we need is Kokopelli braging about how his comic strip is the best.
oh, yes.
how could I forget:
Kokopelli & Company
and
Cartoon History of the Universe
35-Yaaay! *is sheerly joyful* lol I still need to read the others…i’ve only read the first one (the first big one i mean-not the little ones. However they’re divided up, i forget.)
Marmaduke is horrible. Blech.
im getting a calvin and hobbes collection from my school book order. (might)
I like a lot of comic strips, but I don’t read them very often. Mostly just in the newspaper. Calvin and Hobbs isn’t in my newspaper (well, of course, but still), though, and I still like it.
Foxtrot is one of my favorites, definitely.

FRAZZ. I love it. It’s a modern Calvin & Hobbes, Calvin all gorwn up, basically. It’s great.
I dislike Family Circus intensely. it’s so stereotypical. Zits is funny. Scarily accurate, but funny.
I like Zits. And why, oh why do the Lockhorns stay married? Shouldn’t they divorce? I mean, they obviously hate each other, cheat, whine, and are desperately unhappy. They can divorce and they should. So why don’t they?
Frazz is somewhat pathetic.
Well, I like: The Boondocks, Candorville, Pearls Before Swine, La Cucaracha, and Bizarro. Also, this humorous strip about seniors entitled “Ballard Street”. 9 Chickweed Lane is good too.
I read the comic too much, I suppose.
Oh, and I hate Mallard Fillmore. My political opnion. Frazz is starting to bug me, since everything is so darned perfect. >.>
I get the LA Times, if anyone wants to know, Orange County edition, which sounds very WHOOSH like. Yes.
I think Garfield and Peanuts and all the comic strips that are like soap operas are REALLY BORING
I like too many comic stripps to name them all.
Peanuts was good when Charles Schultz was still writing it. Can I post the story of Charles Schultz as a kid from the Chicken Soup books?
OhMyGosh, I’ve been pied.
this thread is weird
BSR, I’d like to hear that – post it!
I like Calvin and Hobbes, Foxtrot (which I read on the web as my paper doesn’t get it), Pearls before Swine, Kokopelli and Company, Stone Soup, Zits, Get Fuzzy, Baby Blues, Peanuts, La Cucaracha (my paper doesn’t get it anymore though) and various others.
I still need to read Cartoon History of the Universe Part 3.
My favorite comic strips, in order from best to not quite best but in no way worst: Calvin and Hobbes, Frazz, Over the Hedge, Funky Winkerbean, Zits, For Better or For Worse, Heart in the City, Pearls Before Swine, Baby Blues
Isn’t over the hedge a movie?
(50) Um. He wrote all of them, it’s repeats now. No one picked it up after he retired, as was his wish. It’s so horrible he died, Charles Schultz was a good, good man…
(56) Yes, it’s based off of he comic strip.
i like peanuts but i get depressed cuz charlie browns just such a loser and theres nothing you can do about it…
I once interviewed Charles Schulz’s daughter without knowing it. I was working as a radio science reporter in Colorado, and she ran a mule ranch near the town where I was based. It wasn’t until 10 years later, when I read Schulz’s obituary, that I realized who she was.

I like old comics, such as “Pogo,” “Krazy Kat,” “Little Nemo in Slumberland,” and a short-lived series from the 1950s called “King Aroo.” Nowadays, “Muttz” imitates the style of some of the strips from the 1920s and 1930s.
Sparky
For Sparky, school was all but impossible. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He flunked physics in high school, getting a grade of zero. Sparky also flunked Latin, algebra, and English. He didn’t manage to do much better in sports. Although he did manage to make the school’s golf team, he promptly lost the only important match of the season. There was a consolation match; he lost that, too.
Throughout his youth Sparky was awkward socially. He was not actually disliked by the other students; no one cared that much. He was astonished if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours. There’s no way to tell how he might have done at dating. Sparky never once asked a girl to go out in high school. He was too afraid of being turned down.
Sparky was a loser. He, his classmates… everyone knew it. So he rolled with it. Sparky made up his mind early in life that if things were meant to work out for him, they would. Otherwise he would content himself with what appeared to be his inevitable mediocrity.
However, one thing was important to Sparky-drawing. He was proud of his artwork. Of course, no one else appreciated it. In his senior year of high school, he submitted some cartoons to the editors of the yearbook. The cartoons were turned down. Despite this particular rejection, Sparky was so convinced of his ability that he decided to become a professional artist.
After completing high school, he wrote a letter to Walt Disney Studios. He was told to send some samples of his artwork, and the subject for a cartoon was suggested. Sparky drew the proposed cartoon. He spent a great deal of time on it and on all the other drawings he submitted. Finally, the reply came from Disney Studios. He had been rejected once again. Another loss for the loser.
So Sparky decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons. He described his childhood self-a little boy loser and chronic underachiever. The cartoon character would soon become famous worldwide. For Sparky, the boy who had such a lack of success in school and whose work was rejected again and again, was Charles Schultz. He created the “Peanuts†comic strip and the little cartoon character whose kite would never fly and who never succeeded in kicking a football, Charlie Brown.

This was from Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul
57- I meant that, when he was still writing new ones
Over the hedge is a great comic strip, but it’ll probably be a !@#$ movie.
our newspaper has over the hedge, but it has only had it forr a little while…”Bookdocks” is on hiatus , so it is filling in while Boondocks is gone.
Same with me, PP. You wouldn’t happen to read the Times Union, would you?
Hmm. Pearls Before Swine never really appealed to me. Even so, I do like the comic Get Fuzzy. (If you look for me on forums like Simtropolis, you’ll find that my avatar is a collage of Greenpeace and Get Fuzzy stuff put together in Photoshop. {And yes, I’m a greenie.}) I also like to re-read the Calvin and Hobbes books. Monty is okay, and Opus can be pretty funny sometimes. Oh, and Doonesbury is good, too. I don’t know about FoxTrot: It was nice, but lately they seem to be running old strips.
I like Foxtrot and Mutts too. My Grandpa tried to get me interested in Pogo, but I didn’t like it.
No one else likes Frazz?
please read the story (61)
it took a while to type
William Clark’s Nickname was Sparky.
What does that have to do with comic strips, Otzi?
Hi administrators! I’m back, just with a different number, seeing as how I’m on a different computer. Anyway, I must say that my favorite comic strip has to be Calvin and Hobbes, closely followed by Foxtrot. I’m also preferable to the Japanese manga. More specifically Rurouni Kenshin, which is where I get my name from (RUROuni KENshin). It’s about a wandering samurai protecting his new friends and those in trouble to get redemtion for all the people he killed as an assassin during the Bakumatsu. It may seem like a lame plot, but it’s a really good manga. Any anime or manga fans out there get back to me… on- here… of course.
Stalking Yeti (70),
See comment 61. “Sparky” was Charles Schulz’s nickname, too. That’s the connection.
Foxtrot is so very very good. I enjoy reading some comics immensely. Not all, though. I personnally have a very strong distaste for Pearls Before Swine. It is usually pretty stupid.
I just saw Over The Hedge movie, and its good , but very idffernt from the comic strip.
Verne has a “Family’ which includes a family of pourcupines, a possum father and daughter, a skunk, and, of course, Hammy.
Pearls Before Swine is awesome. I’d highly reccomend buying the treasuries at your local bookstore. Here’s something about their recent book.
New Release! The Ratvolution Will Not Be Televised. Lock up your valuables. Stockpile your ammunition. Sandbag your bunker. In this fourth collection, the familiar foursome of Rat, Pig, Goat, and Zebra – joined now by the fraternity of Zeeba Zeeba Eata crocodiles – are here to storm the ramparts of humor. Order from Amazon.

Are there any other Pearls fans here?
OMGIE!! The great and powerful OEAD did a double post!!
im going to see over the hedge next weekend.
(71) I was a pretty big Ruroken fan myself back in the day. There’s an Anime/Manga/Japan thread, if you’d like to talk more there. ^^ The Jinchuu Arc is/was the best.
Pearls Before Swine owns chu. Mutts is awesome as well, I love the message.
has anyone mentioned koko &co. yet? or does that count as a biography of the muses? eitherway its still in cartoonish.
Mike: Ya know, there was a Get Fuzzy strip in which Rob (the owner of the dog and cat [Satchel and Bucky]) says something like that. That being “the cat revolution will not be televised”.
Hm… Where did that quote come from?
oh, if we are talking ANIME, then i lurve neotopia. got it out of meh library. If de library has de anime, de library ain’t so bad.
Anyone read baby blues? It’s reeeeeeaaaaaaly funny.
Baby Blues? I’ve read it, but I don’t find it as funny as Get Fuzzy.
(81) That’d be manga, honey.
I forgot to mention I like Doonsbury as well. Get Fuzzy is hilarious though.
Pearls Before Swine makes my heart beat very fast, my blood pressure rise, and endorphins to swim about in my head catching fish. Ah, love.
Our paper had Baby Blues for a while in the Boondocks’ stead. I didn’t really see what was so special about it. Now they have Over the Hedge. I can’t tell you what my newspaper is. I like Koko and Company of course. Then I like pretty much what everybody else said. Foxtrot, Zits, Far Side, Non Sequiter, and Bizarro. I don’t know if anybody said Bizarro, but it’s kind of like Far Side. I love Dilbert. Mother Goose and Grimm is good, although sometimes it seems to be right on, and then other days it just doesn’t do much for me. Get Fuzzy is great. Did anyone else figure out what the morse code message was in Foxtrot? I don’t know what the people who write stuff like Marmaduke or Family Circus think they’re doing. I mean, I guess there’s some people who like them, but they’re not very funny. I can usually tell why they’re supposed to be funny, but they’re just not.
I also like Bloom County! Great strip, just some implied adult content. My cencoring parents, however, let me read it at twelve, which shows that it is probably suitable fot ages ten and up.
yeah what was the morse code message?
anyone remember in Foxtrot a few weeks back when there was that color by numbers thing where it was like “divisible by 13” and “divisible by 17” and “divisible by 19” and “prime numbers”?
my mom and I figuered it out
it was a paige-ish looking monster
just did the morse code one
it says “some day I will rule you all”
my mom said “why does that not surprise me?”
I remember that one! Funny. You actually figured it out? Sounds like something I would do.
My fav. comic is calvin and hobbes ( I have 3 C&V books) Cavin is smart it may not seem that way but think about it he is.
P.S GAPA you should do a thread thread lyk a thread where we can talk about thread ideas
See the latest Suggestion Box thread.
Axa: Ah, a fellow fan! Well, in that case, we should become good friends. Of course, I don’t visit here so often, so you can find me on

92- One of them said a fun quote I liked.
“the surest sign of inteligent life is that it hasn’t contacted us yet.”
I assume, then, that my link in the “Wish I May” topic will be deleted… Of course, I would have expected it anyway. I dunno how you admins would react to it.
I like calivin and hobbes, zits, pearls b4 swine, most other things that were mentioned before…
Um, gapas? I don’t think i ever got pied when i came onto the site…
I figured out the morse code message in foxtrot!! it said: SOMEDAY I WILL RULE YOU ALL
I love Get Fuzzy, Calvin and Hobbes, and Foxtrot, but absolutely positively DESPISE Marmaduke! Ugh, the horrors of that despicable comic strip!!! ;P
comicssssss

my favs= zits, fox trot, for better or for worse, bizarro, dilbert,get fuzzy, shermans lagoon, jump start, drabble.

Holy Mudsizzlers, I forgot about Maxine!
I love Maxine. She may be second best after K&C.
For those of you who don’t know Maxine, she is a crabby, unsociable old woman, who lives all by herself with a nervous little dog named Floyyd.
Maxine spends all hours of the day (and occasionally the night) griping about things that most of us would love to gripe about, but don’t think we could get away with.
She also has some good advice now and then.
Maxine quotes:
“My hiar salon just turned into a day spa. Which, as far as I can tell, means they rub my scalp for a minute before cutting my hiar, and charging me double what I was paying before.”
“Ever wonder why the first three lettters in the word diet, are:
DIE?”
“I used to have Saturday Night Fever. Now I just have saturday night hotflashes.”
“I can’t use a cellphone in the car. I have to keep my hands free for making gestures.”
“I think everybody at the mall is about 50 percent off.”
“Dating is like a melting iceicle. Just one drip after another.”
And last but not least. Actually I could tell you dozens of more, but I’ll stop it here for now:
“I think TV causes violent behavior. I keep throwing things at mine because are so bad.”
FUNNY THOUGHT:
Hey GAPAs! Why not set up a thread for Maxine style complaints about obnoxious things from everyday life.
I can just hear all the Musers across the nation, sniggering with delight.
GARFIELD! I don’t know why you guys hate it so much. It’s cute. Garfield, I really want to hug : blush :
I also like Koko and Company.
We get the Wall Street Journal, and it doesn’t have comics! Gasp!
So, I’m stuck reading comic collections in books. I like to read: Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, and when we did get a paper with comics, Dennis the Menace.
calvin and hobbes are awesome. so is forty years.
