Poll question: Worst Comic Strip?
C'mon, you know there's at least one you read specifically to reinforce your feeling that it's the worst ever.

Be it writing style, visually, or content, there's one you hate, so which is it?

4. Yes, thank you!
Mallard Fillmore is to intelligent conservatives what - well, heck, I can't think of a liberal strip one twelfth as stupid, and come to think of it I'm having a hard time thinking of any intelligent conservatives. Anyway, Mallard sucks. Any of you all ever read it?

7. You beat me to it
I don't get (have) to read MF much - my parents get it in their local paper. It is awful - not funny, pretty mean sometimes. But MF is definitely the WORST "comic strip" ever. Hands down.

12. man bashing?
I have always like Cathy - it tends to lampoon the corporate world. I am certainly not a big fan of man-bashing. She also got moved to some editorial pages because she did cartoons in support of Dukakis. She is a stereotype - but really a reductio ad absurdum of the stereotype rather than a defense of it.

6. None of the above - 'Nacho Guarache'
Leo Garza's 'Nacho Guarache' started years ago as a 'Doonesbury'-like cartoon called 'Needles.'

Horrid radical right Mexican American strip from San Antonio. Editorial page fodder, but supposed to emulate Doonesbury. Incredibly insipid and unfunny.

10. Ugh. Nacho Guarache.
As a San Antonian who has to put up with that shit in his paper every morning, I wholeheartedly agree (though I voted for BC in the poll).

11. BC was my listed choice
God, I do not miss seeing Leo Garza every day. Never funny, never thought provoking, just crap.

9. NO Mallard Filmore?
Edited on Fri Aug-22-03 04:08 PM by LynneSin
It makes all these comic strips look like liberal crusaders!

BTW - here's an example:

13. Mallard Fillmore
It was my choice before I saw the list.

And not just because it is conservative. It looks like it could be done with a rubber stamp kit. Just not quality.
