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. |

Online comic strips you read regularly?
I started checking on that for me and was surprised how many there were. I think I spend as much time reading them (and the comments on them) as I do reading the 'discussion and Talk' forum here. Below, in approximate order of how well I like them, are the ones that I came up with: (notes: * means no new strips, but good to re-read; % new strips once a week or less often)
Breaking News Cats - Dunn Bad Machinery - Allison *Cul de Sac Thompson Jane's World - Braddock *Calvin Watterson *Liberty Meadows - Cho Working Daze Zakour and Roberts Rip Haywire Thompson Widdershins Ashwin Non-Sequitor - Miller 9 Chickweed Lane - McEldowney *Meg Classics Curfman %Zen Pencils - Than Cleats - Hinds Hubris Cravens Thrilling Advs of Lovelace & Babbage - Padua Starling - Stossel Heart of the City Tatulli Lio - Tatulli PreTeena Barrows Microcosm - Beth *Foxtrot Classics - Amend Beardo - Dougherty Rose is Rose Wimmer and Brady Ten Cats - Harrop The Meaning of Lila Forgetta and Rose Brewster Rockit - Rickard Scenes From A Multiverse - Rosenburg *Dragon Girl - Weigel Betty Delainey and Rasmussen Fowl Language - Gordon Dadding Badly - Kovaleski *Shutterbug Follies - Little Tough Town Shannon Lay Lines Lay Bleeker Rechargable Dog Mahood Snow Sez - Shepard Magnificatz - Ogden Glasbergen Cartoons - Glasbergen Connie to the Wonnie - Biographic McGarry Strange Brew - Deering Now Recharging Maiji On A Claire Day Ventresca and Beckett *Poptropica Gilligan and Merritt Frazz Mallett Boomerangs - Pullan G-Man Webcomics Giarusso The Other Coast - Raeside Last Kiss Lustig *Origins of the Sunday Comics - Maresca Bound and Gagged - Summers Candorville - Bell Brevity - Thompson Neurotica - Garwood Maria's Day Zakour and Roberts Wallace the Brave - Henry Brain Squirts - Cummings *Richard's Poor Almanac Thompson *Basic Instructions - Meyer TrivQuiz - McGarry Ink Pen - Dunlap Tank McNamera - Hinds *The Martian Confederacy and Braddock Eek - Nickel *Edge City the Labans %Sunshine State - Nolan Reply All Lewis The Bent Pinky - Metzger Sarah's Scribbles - Anderson AJ and Magnus the Steels The Other Coast - Raeside *Emmy Lou - Links At the Zoo - Piel Jump Start Armstrong Promises, Promises - Faulkner Lear to Speak Cat Smith Nest Heads Allen WaynoVision - Wayno Truth Facts Wulff and Morgenthaler Sticky Comics - Macauley Randolph Itch, 2AM - Toles Cattitude Doggonit A.

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.

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?
