14. I like Pearls Before Swine, but my paper doesn't carry it.
Edited on Wed Apr-23-08 09:01 AM by PeterU
Get Fuzzy usually gets a good laugh out of me. Doonesbury I save for last because it is so damn insightful.

Sherman's Lagoon is good, silly fun. For Better or Worse is very well done in that the characters actually age in real life and they have good, relateable story lines.

There are a couple of strips that aren't very funny, but they are so darn lovable that the lack of humor is compensated for by a surplus of heart--Mutts and Red and Rover are two examples.

And yes, even though it hasn't been any good in 15 years or so, I still like Garfield, if simply for nostalgia's sake. It's no longer very funny, but it was a part of me growing up as a kid (buying the Garfield comic books and watching the Saturday morning cartoon show) so I'm never going to turn my back on that lasagna loving cat no matter how cheesy the strips get.

Oh, and in the independent newspapers, I love This Modern World by Tom Tomorrow.

Calvin and Hobbes was okay, but Bill Waterston always struck me as a pretentious prick who thought his s__t didn't stink, so I don't count it as one of my favorites.
