I think Life In Hell was better before Groening got all successful and had a
bunch of kids. It seems like everytime I see the strip any more, it's just
things his kids are doing or saying, like some kind of mutant extended
Family Circus...

I love these and I agree with you about the 'Why?' I'm not too
interested in soap opera comics though I used to love Brenda Starr. I
like Read Meat & Life In Hell too but the Washington Post doesn't run
those.
Sally Forth
Cathy
Family Circus
Hagar the Horrible
These are all utter crap. Trash these and make room for someone fresh
and new.

Well, there's no accounting for taste. I love FBOFW but it's time for
MOMMA to be retired. I can't imagine what the constituency for MOMMA is.
--Eva Whitley
Silver Puss
Get Fuzzy
Rose is Rose
Bigger Picture
Dilbert
Pickles
PC and Pixel
Monty
Dennis the Menace
Hated:
Any strips in which the focus is upon babies who act like babies,
teenagers with typically teenage problems, and women with office jobs.

Least Favorite: Family Circus, Doonesbury

"heartwarming" family funnies in general tend to make me a tad bit nauseous.

You're so right, Hagar also bites it --so bad, I guess, that I forgot to
even mention him.
Wizard of Id is pretty lame too, in my book.
And Curtis, now *there's* a strip that has just faded right out of my
awareness, it's so-oo bland.

You mean that dumb thing's still around? And there are still newspapers
that *run* it?
Wow.

I can't see it. I laughed just yesterday...

the strip now that I've pitted Sally against Alice in a all-out,
knock-down, jaw-cracking battle royale to the bloody end. Think of the
duel in "Kill Bill Vol. 2" between The Bride and Elle Driver, only far
more matronly and with three-hole punchers instead of swords (oh, and
Ralph gets bitten by the snake). But if you can't wait--or as I can
safely assume don't particularly give a damn--perhaps you would be so
kind as to check in every so often with my new strip at:
http://www.drinkatwork.com/mediumlarge.html (though don't give up on
Sally yet. She would read you if you were in a comic strip).
Thanks!

Ew. For some reason that makes me feel. . .violated.

Hate to interrupt with a spelling flame, but it's "Cheney,"
not "Chaney." It may only be one letter, but it's 998 faces.

NY Daily News, too.
I can't imagine why.

I was discussing this with friends last night, and I understand it's
popular among retired women.
My mother liked it but my mother's been dead since 1988. Maybe I should
have sent the newspaper a memo. --Eva Whitley
