Bill Watterson is rolling in his reclusive hobbit-hole.

Also, the creator of Family Circus died last year in November. But his son is going to continue his father's work.

It will never end.

Foxtrot is the only decent newspaper comic around nowadays.

Kind of wish Foxtrot hadn't gone Sunday only but if it keeps up the level of quality then I don't mind at all.

Foxtrot's okay but at the same time I think it gets kinda repetitive.

THAT SAID it's basically the newspaper king compared to this. I don't even KNOW what Calvin and Hobbes is compared to this. It's already the newspaper god.

Foxtrot can be hit and miss but mostly I like it because Bill Amend is more into the nerdier things than other syndicated cartoonists. He even made Penny Arcade a guest strip one time.

That said For Better or For Worse, Garfield, and Family Circus all need to die. Also Deflocked.

Also, for those who asked about source

http://www.postwritersgroup.com/comics.htm

This is apparently the group responsible for syndicating this.

Hell if I know why.

Pickles is part of that group? That looks like the only thing saving the group from being total shit.

The disturbing part is, the late Bil Keane is still listed as the author alongside his son.

The only decent comics in my newspaper are Candorville, Pearls Before Swine, Zits, and Bizarro. My sister likes the Argyle Sweater, but I'm rather disgusted with it seeing as it is a complete ripoff of the Far Side.
