My all Time Favorite Comic Strip?
BLOOM COUNTY / OUTLAND / OPUS
Steve Dallas, Bill The Cat, Opus Penguin, what can I say? Berke Breathed has a peculiar take on life and humor that seems to hit me just right.
"If you can't tell the difference, what difference does it make?"
Bucky Katt
Aloof.. bizarre...sarcastic... volatile... He is a CAT, after all.
Satchel Pooch
Good ol' Satchel tries to be everyone's best friend, but more often than not, he's caught in the middle of Bucky's mischief and Rob's admonishment. Innocent and well-meaning, if hopelessly naive.
Rob Wilco
The stressed-out "guardian" of Bucky and Satchel, he works in an ad agency to support his unconventional family unit. He's a sincere, likable guy who can't seem to catch a break.
I liked Calvin and Hobbes pretty well though it didn't seem to resonate with me like what Breathed did. If I were to choose a close second that I followed almost as obsesively as Bloom County I'd have to say The Far Side.

"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." - PJ O'Rourke

"Men and women range themselves into three classes or orders of intelligence; you can tell the lowest class by their habit of always talking about persons; the next by the fact that their habit is always to converse about things; the highest by their preference for the discussion of ideas." - Charles Stewart

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." - James Madison

~ alan bates, the mothman prophecies
i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.
~ george clooney, inside the actor's studio
a straight edge for legends at
the fold - searching for our
lost cities of gold. burnt tar,
gravel pits. sixteen gears switch.

Nancy The spunky little girl who's the center of attention. Nancy is innocence and sass combined and has been charming readers for years. She's a tomboy who nevertheless likes to dress up in Aunt Fritzi's fancy clothes...a pug-faced kid who is, depending on the situation, a fun-loving, tantrum-throwing, cute and cheeky girl.
Sluggo Nancy's best friend and constant companion. He's a sweet kid and a loyal friend but, according to Nancy, he sure has a lot to learn about women! Sluggo's certainly not the brightest kid in the gang, but he's always there when you need him.
Aunt Fritzi Nancy's ultra-glamorous aunt. She's a fair and caring guardian to Nancy and inspires crushes from lots of men - two-dimensional and three-dimensional alike
Rollo |??| kid in the gang with quite a good head for finance. You can bet that his lemonade business will be the most profitable on the block. Rollo's the only the character with a butler, but he's not too spoiled and is always considerate to his friends.
Irma
Nancy's friend. The two girls have been known to have their spats but they never last. Irma's around to join Nancy in those "little girl" escapades that Sluggo would never understand. [/b]
