Foxtrot we've already seen classics in the thread. A daily from 1988 - 2006, now Sundays only, by artist & author Bill Amend. Follows the life of the Fox family. It's a better nerd comic than Intelligent Life, and better at tech than Compu-Toon by far. Amend seems to actually have some semblance of understanding these things usually.

The man semi-retired to play more WoW; his nerd credentials are strong. Plus I think he has a legit physics degree or something like that. All I know is that as a young kid it meant a lot to me that there was a comic where a character liked math and computers as much as I did, so Bill Amend is pretty rad in my book.

Wahoo Terminal is pretty funny most days. If it was from anyone else, I reckon the thread would give it more of a pass.

Flash Gordon
Flash Gordon is a long running pulp sci-fi strip that updates on Sundays. It started in 1934, and still feels fresh. I don't tend to post it regularly, only when I feel I need to atone for my views on McEldowney.

We had a hutch like that growing up. One bin for onions, one bin for potatoes, a small bin for garlic.

Possibly. Knowing what a creepy, pompous garbage heap Brooke is definitely casts a dark shadow over that strip, to the point where I genuinely can't form an unbiased opinion of it. I mean, it's less terrible and icky than 9CL or Pibgorn, but I know the writer is the most terrible and icky part of those strips. As a result, I'm perpetually half-cringing when I read Wahoo Terminal, just waiting for him to do what he does.


But I am interested in Flash Gordon, so by all means, continue atoning!

Outland is a Sunday-only strip, done by Berkeley Breathed as a follow-up to Bloom County, which was a follow-up to his collegiate strip The Academia Waltz. Outland ran from 1989 through 1995. Principal characters include Opus, a neurotic penguin; Milquetoast, a neurotic cock-roach; Ronald-Ann, a precocious young girl named for Pres. Reagan; and Bill The Cat, a brain-damaged feline with a history of drugs, rock'n'roll, presidential campaigning, and romantic involvement with a score of unlikely women.

Actually I'm pretty sure that guy is a bear.

If King Features had any kind of marketing savvy, that mug would be on sale right now. The URL to their store page would be printed right on the comic.

Between this lumpy guy and Amphibious Action Fivehead Ken, it's looking like James Allen has been putting real people in the strip so they can fulfill their lifelong dream of hanging out with a muscly outdoorsman cartoon character. Whether he's just drawing his fat dad buddies for laughs or earning some cash on the side from internet perverts remains to be seen.

King Aroo features the adventures of the diminutive King Aroo, monarch of Myopia, and his loyal servant Yupyop. The strip ran from late 1950 until 1965.

King Aroo (December 9 & 11, 1950)





Barnaby features the titular Barnaby and his Fairy Godfather, a cigar-smoking Irishman named O'Malley. Created by Crockett Johnson of Harold and the Purple Crayon fame, this strip ran daily in the leftist paper PM between 1942 and 1952.

Barnaby (May 16 & 18, 1942)





An evolution of Ernie Bushmiller's earlier strip, Fritzi Ritz, Nancy centers around the misadventures of the titular character and her roughneck beau Sluggo.
