There was one (I don't know if this counts) published pretty regular
in Spirou magazine, written by Raoul Cauvin. I can't remember the title
or the artist's name.
And Culture Vultures were showcased occasionaly in an alternative US
strip (Cultural Jetlag?) whose authors wqually slipped my mind.
Not much help, ain't I?

Check out Kevin & Kell (http://www.gdma.com/kk). One character (Mrs. Aura,
teacher and upstairs border at the Dewclaws) is a turkey buzzard.

Against the Grain, by Glenn Foden, LA Times Syndicate, has an occasional
strip or series with two vultures (or maybe buzzards, I can't tell) as
the lead characters.

"Broom Hilda" by Russell Myers features a vulture named Gaylord as a
major character.
"Foofaraw", drawn by Jay Scruggs, features a vulture in an Elvis wig as
its main (title?) character. I don't know if this strip is syndicated
or not; it appears in the _Journal_ newspapers in six different editions
in the Washington, DC suburbs (Prince William and Fairfax Counties and
Arlington and Alexandria, VA and Montgomery and Prince George's Counties
in MD) and possibly nowhere else.
Vultures also put in important (but not regular) appearances in Gary
Larson's "The Far Side" ("Howdy! Howdy! Howdy!") and Dodd/Elrod's "Mark
Trail."
There were a number of "Peanuts" strips in which Snoopy pretended to be
a vulture, and I think villains called "The Vulture" have appeared in
both "Spider-Man" and "The Phantom," albeit not very recently. (The one
in the latter was a 17th century pirate; this strip appeared in the
early 70's.)
Good luck!

If you want to find individual Frank and Ernest strips containing
"vultures" point your browser at
http://www.frankandernest.com/view/power-search.html
and use keyword "vulture". I did a search and turned up 2 strips featuring
vultures-- you may get more hits with different keywords ("buzzards" etc.)
Hope this helps,

This may not count, because it's not *really* a vulture, but what about
all those Peanuts strips in which Snoopy sits in a tree and plays at being
a vulture? (He usually ends up pouncing on Linus and stealing his blanket,
or some such.)

An intellectual buzzard ("Gaylord") is one of three main characters in the
Broomhilda strip. Snoopy did a stint as a vulture in the late 1950's or
early 1960's, maybe someone at alt.comics.peanuts can tell you what book to
look in.

In one of those vulture strips a real vulture was beside him.

Great character. He was an undertaker who spoke in a elegant cursive
font.
There's also Gaylord, the refined and intellectual buzard in
Broom-Hilda.

"Cultural Jetlag," in its only nod to continuity, had the recurring
characters of the Culture Vultures who ate has-been celebrities. In their
first appearance they ate Jerry Kotzwin... Kocsxzs... Katzensyzy... Ah,
you know, the guy who wrote "Being There." (They never ate John Travolta,
to my knowledge, which would make "Pulp Fiction" hard to explain...)
Anybody mention Woody Woodpecker's foe Buzz Buzzard?
