Cathy has to be the worst comic ever. It isn’t even funny! Every comic she bit**** about how she is to damn fat to fit in some dress, then she walks in a store saying “I am not going to buy a single thing!” Then she walks out of the store with a bunch of stuff looking like some crazy lady with huge sweat drops, crumbled paper, and lines tossed around everywhere. “It’s funny, because I said I had self control!” NO IT ISN’T!



The comic does change every once and a while, her parents and boyfriend come over and are eating and Cathy is like “No food for me! I am on a diet!” Then the whole family stuffs their faces, with the sweat drops and the pointy fingers....WHAT ARE THOSE!?!?! They aren’t even fingers! They are these pointy blobs! And in every comic Cathy has to proclaim that she isn’t doing something, then she does it and gets all bent out of shape. STOP MAKING THIS COMIC! It really isn’t funny!

My biggest complaint about the comic is the fact that it tries to cram as many words as possible per panel. Just get to the punch line already! For example:



------------------
"I am downright amazed at what I can destroy with just a hammer."
-Atom and His Package

You sill don't understand women

And I'm sure YOU do C'mon man, no women are gonna *stumble* upon this thread and say OMG HE IS TEH NO UNDERSTAND US LET US CASTRATE AND EXILE HIM!!!!??!?!?$!$$25323

In fact, there is a far far far too small number of active females on Massassi as is, in the single digits I believe. Saying that he doesn't understand women because he rants about something he hates to a panel of guys isn't exactly accurate.

If you understand women at all you can see the point of the Cathy comics. I'm not saying they are funny, but there are a lot of people, espicially older (middle age or so) women that relate to Cathy. Almost none of us are in the right demographic to be reading and enjoying ths comic.

I think the thing is he understands them, and the comic. He just HATES it. He asks why it lives in today's age of people 30- who don't get or care about the comic, even a lot of women.

Shut up. I'm GOING to do this whether you like it or not.

That pic looks like it was fairly easy to throw together, Although it looks nice, Phearthespork. I see a gradiented lower-level, with an inverted text upper-layer. But still, it is rather good.

Anyway, as far as comics go, Cathy isn't targetted toward young adult males. It should come as no surprise that people like Rod-Nog find no point to it.

As far as Garfield goes, I think Jim Davis kinda ran out of real steam around the 20th year, although he has had a few good ideas since then.

As for Calvin and Hobbes, I'm slightly upset that the series had to end. I'd have liked to see more.

Of course, I've enjoyed Berkely Breathes's strips since their second incarnation, Outland. I was quite pleased to see him continue the series under the name Opus, and his humor seems to be sharper than ever... (I keep on shuddering when I think of the one with Michael Jackson in it)

Quit whining, it's not half as bad as The Family Circus. At least Cathy TRIES to be funny...

Family Circus is awesome.

Calvin and Hobbes and the Farside were, without a doubt, the finest comics in print. Now, I'd say my favorite is Foxtrot, but I really don't read it religiously like I did the other two.

The ones I like now are Red Meat, Boondocks and Mutts.

That comic Funky Winkerbean is actually interesting, if depressing. It seems the artist spends most of his episodes talking about alcoholism. :/

I miss PLIF.

I'm suprised no one has mentioned Dilbert. I love that comic. The show was good too.

Dilbert is my #2, actually.

My favorite for a while was Foxtrot, but it is kind of starting to seem a whee bit repetetive (maybe it isn't, I don't know) I also love Dilbert most of the time. Dilber I think is the top dog right now, but I'm really starting to enjoy the Boondocks.
