Looking at the list I realize that I love all of those and what an impact comics had on me.

I have not picked up a newspaper with comics in years, but that list bring back some memories. I had a paper route when I was a kid too so the Sunday edition was always the worst day to deliver 
Far Side and Dilbert for me from that list. Honorable Mention vote for Hagar the Horrible.

I dreaded Sundays. To add insult to injury I was tasked with inserting the inserts into the already thick Sunday editions.

We should start a new thread to share paperboy angst and horror stories.

Yep, had the separate pile of inserts/ads. Collecting monthly fees was also a good learning experience but who in their right mind would send a 12 year old kid out on a bike door to door with a big bag of cash these days. My bike got ripped off twice too. Having said all that, at the time I though it was pretty dope to make a coupe hundred bucks every 2 weeks!

I wish I could pick three because Calvin and Hobbes is deeply special to me, but how do you top the Far Side and Peanuts?
I have the full Far Side compendium, and one of the best parts is that they published some of the best hate mail Gary Larson got. I loved it from the get go. Pure twisted gold.
As for Peanuts....I remember that when Charles Schultz retired, I thought that's it, he's going to die. He died, IIRC, a week after they published his last strip.
