The San Jose Mercury News had a poll in yesterday's paper, asking voters to cross out no more than six comics and circle no more than six comics. My choices:

Keep `em

Kill `em

  • Cathy
  • Dennis the Menace
  • Fusco Brothers
  • Garfield
  • Mallard Fillmore
  • Rose is Rose

I'm also gonna drop a note with my ballot asking them to pick up Get Fuzzy and Ballard Street. I didn't vote for obvious stuff, like Foxtrot or Dilbert, because i wanted to see if Pretzel Logic is picked up on an everyday, rather than everyotherday, basis. And, yes, Family Circus just couldn't sneak into my bottom 6 comic strips. That's just the way it goes sometimes.

Also, i must sadly note that Opus, so far, sucks.

Well, of course! How could you drop the Family Circus? Gosh!

Do you find Boondocks funny, or just entertaining somehow?

The Funny Paper guys had some recommendations when the Baltimore Sun recently had a similar survey.

Opus does suck. Badly. I've not seen most of your choices, since they don't run in the LA Times, but I checked them out and liked them. But I agree with your kills. And...do you not have Mutts up there?

Poopy. I was afraid of that.

Garfield over Family Circus? Or perhaps that should be under? So very sad.

I mean, not that Garfield has been good in, like...uh...when was Garfield good?

But much like Jello, there's always room for Family Circus (to kill).

I weep for you.

I approve of your lists.

I have been enjoying RSS feeds of comics lately.

Sorry to hear about Opus, which I haven't seen yet, because it's not online. And if it's not online, it doesn't exist. Have you a word for that?
