Daily comics died for me when we lost C&H, The Far Side and Bloom County. Berk came back with Outland (so-so) and Opus (not so much). I admire Watterson and Larson for walking away and staying away.

C & H are/were the very best. I got the special collection that was put out a few years ago and will occasionally dip into it when I need a larf...

I loved the snowmen...

Man, you got that right. I don't even bother with the comics--haven't for years.

You're a tough crowd. Lio is terrific. Others with flashes of brilliance are Frazz, Zits, and La Cucaracha (most of the Barriobucks strips are a hoot as are the Mex Morgan ones).

It was good, but the suck seed one just seemed to work.... he's done it a few more times, and it seems like he's trying too hard.

I became an instant fan after i read the farce one.. :)

I agree on Lio. Unfortunately, the Chicago Tribune is discontinuing it next week. :(

Frazz is one of the best and Zits is good too. I've never seen La Cucaracha.

OH NO! You'll have to subscribe to gocomics.com/lio

I imagine that La Cucaracha, being devoted to Mexican characters, is predominantly down thisaway. You can find it on gocomics also. Today Mex Morgan MD (Mexican Doctor) is back again. It's a tad liberal political--just so I warned ya. The antidote for Mallard Fillmore.
