Are we talking about art, humor, or dialogue?

On my bookshelf. I used to love this strip so much that I would cut out the ones I liked and hung them on the fridge.

Edit...when I was a kid.

Reading the comic strips as a kid, the Far Side and Peanuts always alternated between the number 2 and 3 slots, with Calvin and Hobbes being number 1.

Classic Peanuts from the 60s and 70s came very close, for me. Calvin and Hobbes was funnier, but by a small margin.

Popular entertainment peaked with Calvin and Hobbes. Everything else is just fighting for second place.

Within the specific context of newspaper comic strips, The Far Side is indeed one of a few that you could call second best and I wouldnt argue.

And I would agree that these four are probably the real Mt. Rushmore of the category, although, personally, I prefer Zits and Foxtrot to Peanuts and Garfield.

Comic strips just aren't super popular anymore right? I mean , real physical newspapers?

Garfield without Garfield. It makes Jon look like he's insane. Past that, I'd argue old Ctrl-Alt-Delete before the author decided to give a terrible ending.

I think for me it's Macanudo, Dark Side of the Horse, maybe Bizarro.

Did something happen with Pearls before Swine? I remember it getting a lot of love, being compared to C&H and TFS. But it doesn't seem to get mentioned much anymore.
