whenever i'm looking for newspaper clippings about our agency, i would always go over the comic strips and read all of them! some of the strips i love are -

calvin and hobbes, bratty little kid calvin, with his imagination bringing to life his stuff toy tiger hobbes,

life in progress, about a loser boy named zeke who cant court the girl she loves because she is being courted by a monster-looking, incredible hulk-looking sasquatch, and he would just always imagine that he's a superhero battling the villains like sasquatch the monster, LOL

kiko machine, the best one for me and which comic strip i collect, is about university life and student lives often exaggerated and features a lot of interesting funny characters with a usual expression of "hardcore" and "rak'en roll",

pugad baboy (pig's den LOL), about a neighborhood whose residents are all super fats and the only thin people i see is a teacher in pugad baboy academy and a witty annoying maid named brosia, the characters often talk about political issues

and Brenda Starr! about the smart news reporter just like lois lane but without Superman.^__^

and a lot lot more like Ben, Hagar, Full House, The Far Side, Beetle Bailey, Toks and Moks, etc.

What about you??^__^

Theres a free newspaper thats put on all the buses in our city called metro and they have a comic strip called nemi. I love that strip! it makes me smile every time i read it lol. I also love calvin and hobbes too, that kid is just so funny! It gives me an insight into what my daughter might be thinking too which i think is always a help lol.

I dont think i read any others very often other than those two although occasionally, I come across a dilbert one and read that but i dont find it as funny as i once did. I dont know why lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 1 out of 42 in reading comic strips  3 years ago

LOL yeah, calvin could be anyone's kid! smart but sometimes annoying. oh, this reminds me of dennis the menace. sort of like calvin too right?^__^;; at least what they do may seem bad to adult but not to them because of their innocence on things.^__^

maybe dilbert darted off your taste that's why you dont find it funny anymore. i felt like that with a comic strip called.. hehe.. i forgot what its called. LOL

I usually just read pugad baboy...(omg the keyboard here has almost no labels on the keys)...I always enjoyed reading it because of the familiar setting (we are no small size back at home)...and we also had our own version of Igno, the exconvict (supposedly good when he came out of jail)...but I only wished we had a taliking dog...heehee


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 1 out of 42 in reading comic strips  3 years ago

means you're surfing the net in a very popular shop.^__^
hahaha! i can easily associate you with pugad baboy sem! continue nursing your beer belly and you might just be accepted as a pugad baboy member. LOL
i think igno is very funny too. scaringly funny at times. but he's a cool dude. i hope every ex-convict became like him.^__^;;

jsumbing (69)   ranked 4 out of 42 in reading comic strips  3 years ago

polgas is a bulldog (i thought so)...i mean Polgas the dog, not polgas the pest...I really enjoyed Pol Medina Jr's creation, we even had some of the books which is a compilation of the comic strips in the Inquirer of Pugad Baboy...and I'll know it if a person is someone I can really get along well by his/her reaction while reading Pugad Baboy...kung hindi natawa, patay, mahirap to...hehehe


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 1 out of 42 in reading comic strips  3 years ago

i know polgas! when i said you could hire somedog like pulgoso or fifi i mean because they talk too in marimar di ba?? just like polgas talks in the strip.^__^

I love reading ANYTHING...lol
I read all the comic strips I come across. But I'm not very fond of action-packed comic strips.
I don't have any personal favourites.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 1 out of 42 in reading comic strips  3 years ago

i dont like action comic strips too. i only like those funny comic strips and usually kid-based like calvin, full house and dennis the menace.^__^


myLot reputation of 91/100. SViswan (4201)   ranked 3 out of 42 in reading comic strips  3 years ago

Yes, those are the ones that I like too. I can't sleep without my daily dose of comics..lol. I'd skip the news when I don't have the time..but I keep the comic strips aside to be read later.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 1 out of 42 in reading comic strips  3 years ago

LOL that's funny. usually i'd rather read the comics too than read the news. i'd rather be happy than be concerned with something serious.^__^

Everyday, at my job, someone bring a newspaper. So I try to take it and to read it. If I don't have a lot of time, I at least read the comicstrip. I don't have the same as you, but I know calvin and hobbes and wish there where in my newspaper lol I just like calvin.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 1 out of 42 in reading comic strips  3 years ago

i think there are a lot of people who likes calvin no?? he's just funny and annoyingly smart and innocent.^__^

I'm much into local comics, like our very own "pugad baboy."

I love it's theme and plot, a political sattire that somehow resembles a typical filipino life. It may be put into deeper subjects, but if you'll focus and think about it, you'll understand what it means. I like the humor, the truth behind it and the simple vulgarity behind it.

One thing I also like was Xerex, I always read them everyday, especially when I want to go to the bathroom!LoL Hahaha!


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 1 out of 42 in reading comic strips  3 years ago

i know! pugad baboy is sooo.. baboy! LOL its really very funny and even if it touches on a serious issue it still make it appear as a joke.
ewwww!!! kadiri ka raijin! avid fan ka pala ni xerex.^_^;;


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6727)   ranked 2 out of 42 in reading comic strips  3 years ago

I thought it's a comic strip, sorry about that!;) LoL


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 1 out of 42 in reading comic strips  3 years ago

its not a comic strip! as far as i know. comic strip has drawings right? and i dont think xerex's column would be allowed to put pictures there. LOL


jsumbing (69)   ranked 4 out of 42 in reading comic strips  3 years ago

but it would surely make a nice comic strip though...hahaha


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 1 out of 42 in reading comic strips  3 years ago

heh. it wouldnt be allowed by mtrcb.


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6727)   ranked 2 out of 42 in reading comic strips  3 years ago

Hahaha! What does Laguardia has to do with it being done as a comic strip?! LoL Yahaha!;)


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 1 out of 42 in reading comic strips  3 years ago

isnt newspapers covered by mtrcb? @_@ guess not. even so, i think it would still be not allowed by whoever is in charge of it. its too..censored.^.^

yes i read comic strips in newspapers but what i really hate about them is that they are only strips and only mention a chunk of the big story. thats why i ahte it. i love to read all of them although they areshort sometimes i understand what the comic strip is saying sometimes i dont because of the very little information. sometimes they are good and sometimes they are corny but i do read the comics in the newspaper.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (5223)   ranked 1 out of 42 in reading comic strips  3 years ago

of course sometimes it would be corny for the author runs out of ideas too sometimes. that's for sure.^__^
