About LinkBacksOk. So I was reading in the "Guest user" thread and somehow for a short time it got turned into the "best comics" thread. Which leads me to this thread - what was your favorite comic of all time? Please give a reason too.
I'll start with Bloom County. I still think Berkely Breathed is one of the funniest writers of all time. The story he wrote about his first painting in high school - he painted an astronaut in space whose head was exploding - actually a really good painting. He titled it "Gesundheit." His art teacher told him it was terrible, and that he was going to be rich.

Ok. Part of my reason for this thread is that I'm at work, it's now 20:52 and we haven't had a darn thing all day.

But on Sunday, which is the only day around here that it's in the paper is Opus. It is timeless.

Calvin and Hobbes is definitely at the top of my list.
Some others in the top five would probably be:
Peanuts
B.C.
Dilbert
Frank and Ernest

Waaay funny, but then again I'm a bit of a geek.
Get Fuzzy is great as wellWe struck down evil with the mighty sword of teamwork and the hammer of not bickering.
