Default Comic Strips in your local paper?

This is assuming that some of you out there still do get your local paper. What comic strips are in the Monday through Saturday version of your paper? Here is what is in the San Diego Union-Tribune (in order of ones I like best to those that don't deserve to be in a paper at all):

I'm sure that you'll notice that most of this group are 'funnies', many with little or no real continuity
For Better or Worse – Johnston
Non-Sequitor - Miller
Zits – Scott and Borgman
Luann – Evans
Mutts - McDonnell
Funky Winkerbean - Batiuk
Baby Blues – Kirkman and Scott
Adam @ Home – Basset
Rex Morgan MD - Beatty
Frazz – Mallett
Big Nate – Peirce
La Cucaracha - Alcaraz
Pluggers – Brookin
Classic Peanuts – Schulz
Crankshaft – Batiuk and Ayers



This group could use improvement:
Beetle Bailey – the Walkers
Blondie - Young
B.C. - Mastroianni and Hart
Wizard of Id – Parker and Hart
Doonesbury - Trudeau
Hagar the Horrible - Browne
Dilbert - Adams
Pickles - Crane
Drabble - Fagan
Sally Forth – Marciuliano and Keels






If they were students, they would get a 'D':
Marmaduke – the Andersons
Dennis the Menace - 'Ketchum'
Pooch Cafe - Gilligan
Sherman's Lagoon – Toomey
Pearls Before Swine – Pastis



These ones should be dropped:
Pardon My Planet - Lee
Mary Worth – Moy and Brigman
Get Fuzzy - Conley
Duplex – McCoy
Fusco Brothers - Duffy
Mother Goose & Grimm - Peters
Garfield – 'Davis'
Mallard Fillmore – Tinsley

*****

There are a lot of strips that I read that aren't in the U-T, but that I wish were. I'll try to get those sorted out in another post.

In the Buffalo News, I read just about every strip they print, which includes Get Fuzzy, Mutts, The Wizard of Id, The Amazing Spider-Man, Crankshaft, Funky Winkerbean, Sally Forth, Garfield, Blondie and Peanuts. Some, like Curtis, I read out of habit despite the fact that I think the gags are repetitive; but when he's on, it's a good read. If they dropped strips like Prickly City and Pros and Cons, I wouldn't be upset.

Online, I read 9 Chickweed Lane, B.C., Rose is Rose, FoxTrot Classics, Tank McNamara, Non Sequitur and Bloom County 2016. The News used to carry Non Sequitur on the weekends, but dropped it a couple of months ago.

Doonesbury, FoxTrot and Get Fuzzy are new only on Sundays. One other Sunday-only strip is Prince Valiant, which I've been reading forever.

Cool Comic Strips in your local paper?

Very first strip I can recall regularly reading was Hδgar the Horrible way back in the day when a MiniJoker



Strip had the added plus point (Points ) of being in The Sun newspaper , with all the attraction their page three models always brought.
Although stopped buying that paper a couple decades ago.

I stopped taking a newspaper some time ago and anyway, my local paper doesn't print comic strips. I don't think the UK papers print them in the same quantities that the US news industry does.

I do subscribe to Gocomics though where I have a number of comic strips sent to my email daily..

Amongst my favourites are BC, Wizard of Id and Crumb. I have to say that my all-time favourite is Dogs of C Kennel by Mick and Mason Mastroianni.

Something that I forgot to mention was how bothering it is to have the newspapers condense the size of the strips - some it doesn't harm much (stuff like Garfield, that could be shrunk even more.) But others, I think the shrinkage does a disservice to the art - and that in turn means some artists end up thinking, why bother doing a good job with the art, the papers will just make the strips so small you can't tell about the effort put in to them.

What's the one about the kid and his toy tiger? One of my grandkids alerted me to it and it's both clever and funny. Is it English or American...it seems English?
