My absolute favorite comic is Zits. I think it's absolutely hilarious! I also love the comic Garfield. It's a longtime favorite of everyone's I think.
What's your favorite comic? Do you get online and look it up every day? Or do you read it in the newspaper everyday? Why do you like it so much?

I like the Archies before but it's imported and very expensive here. After some general cleaning I discovered some old Archies comic books then I read it again.
I also like the comic strips in the local newspaper yes the Pugad Baboy.

I love the Archies comics too. It's very funny and entertaining to read. I usually read it to take off some stress from the day or whatever. I started to read it one day when I was bored when we were waiting for the line to move forward at this one store and bought it since I managed to read somewhat of the book already. Then I begin collecting it since I was in middle school up until now.

My favorite newspaper comic is NoN Sequiter or however it's spelled. I also enjoy the boondocks but it's not in every paper. Also in our local city paper there's a comic called redmeat it's gross and funny and I enjoy it.

My favorite is a local one, meaning, it's only featured in the Philippines and it's called, "Pugad Baboy". If translated literally, that would mean "Pig's Nest" with "Baboy" being Pig. It's a satire of anything, especially Philippine lifestyle, culture, and politics.
It's popular because it's very funny and most Filipinos could relate to the family being portrayed in this comic. It's being run in our national newspaper, the "Philippine Daily Inquirer" and there have been volumes of books printed featuring this comic cartoon.

My most favorite comics are not published everyday, but Zits (and one of the Baby Boomers authors is the same person) do deserve honorable mention. Rose Is Rose is my first choice for artwork, especially with the very creative perspective s/he plays with in her(his?)work -
But my absolute favorite isn't printed in dailies - or even just the Sundays - Alan Moore has written many graphical novels (the most famous must be the one made into the movie "Vendetta" - though the movie is in many ways quite different from his work in print
I hear his classic "Watchmen" is also coming out in celluloid, but I am dreading that - having experienced his actual novel, I doubt the movie would even come close.
No, I have experienced too much than to enjoy newspaper funnies as much anymore - I chuckle at a few of them once in a while, but no real literature is being produced in the medium except after paying a few more extra bucks
And it is well worth it.

The one and only comic strip I read everyday is Mutts. Almost everyday I read Dilbert. And when it involves spiders, I read Garfield. I loved Hobbits, alas it's no longer around.
