Comic Strips

Who was like me when they were a kid? I LOVED the comics, or the "funnies" as we used to call them. I would get up in the morning and go straight for them to read over breakfast. Who needs the news when you can just read the funnies.


When I went off to college, it was the thing about the newspaper I missed the most. And as I still don't get the paper on a regular basis, I don't get caught up with my favorite ones. However, as with most things in this day and age, you can always find some online.


I read "For Better or For Worse," each morning when I get into work (it is bookmarked, people). It was sooo sad when she decided to end the strip, but at least she is revisitng each strip from the early years and 're-releasing' them if you will. Here is the last strip; it was a great wrap up to a family I come to love.

I also really like "Baby Blues." I am not even close to being a parent, but anyone who has ever been around children knows how accurate this comic strip is. I have been known to laugh out loud at it in my silent office.

Recently I have been introduced to comics.com. It doesn't have all of my old favorites, but it does have some good ones. Once you create an account you can choose to have some sent to your email every morning and the others show up on your comics.com homepage. I am sure I am going to love this site.

What were your favorite comic strips growing up? I'll have to look at the Daily Break next time I go home and see if I am able to find more of my old favorites online... because who doesn't like to keep up with their favorite characters?
