You either get Gary Larson or you don't.

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

Get Fuzzy
Pearls before Swine

+1 for Pearls

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.

Bloom county was my era. Shout out to all the mid fidy year olds out there.

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

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.
