Heathcliff comic strip and show were void of humor. Much like 85% of the rest of the strips in the papers. Never understood how it continued nor how it got a show.
shareAside from Calvin And Hobbes, The Far Side, Doonesbury, and Bloom County name a comic strip that didn't suck from that time frame. The rest were just filler for the comics page.
shareI enjoyed Non Sequitur, Shoe, and sometimes Dilbert and BC/Wizard of Id. But yeah, 99% of comic strips are/were Heathcliff bad.
Doonesbury was never funny. It was occasionally clever but that's all. Its heyday was late 70s to early 80s. Back when BD was in Nam. It stopped being worth reading after that.
Check this out. Don't let the name fool you.

I would read the entire funny page (and a half). Call it masochism. Peanuts and Garfield were never anything more than comfortable. Cathy was just straight up bad. No accounting for taste though. I recall Garfield being insanely popular.
shareCalvin and Hobbes rocked!
shareAgreed. Probably the best with Far Side right behind it.
Seriously, though ... check this out:

That's not how debate works. You don't challenge someone to answer a question to make a point, and then disqualify the very answers that automatically make you wrong. That doesn't even make sense. That would be like saying, "Other than his lying, cheating and molesting little girls, show me how Harry isn't a bad person."
shareCalvin and Hobbes were the best of all
shareAt least the theme song is funky.
shareThere wasn't really any comedy in the cartoon, the story lines were just really good.
shareprobably because tons of other people in the world disagree with you? just because you didn't like it doesnt mean it doesnt deserve a show lol. oooh the internet people and their arrogance.
