(My son's favorite comic is C&H -- his favorite stuffed animal, which he will sit down and play chess or a board game with, is a stuffed tiger he has had for 6+ years named Hobbes.) Did I grow up? I never meant to!

We got Get Fuzzy as a replacement to Foxtrot. I've always liked the comic but it's not the same as Jason and Paige and Peter running around causing trouble.
I wish my paper would ditch Garfield, Blondie, One Big Happy, Family Circus, Cathy, and probably a few others and add Sherman's Lagoon and Frazz and Rose is Rose and Heart of the City. (And others)

We got Pearls Before Swine, and it's lousy.

I like Pearls sometimes, but I don't need it all the time.
That said the Crocs who keep trying to get the Zeeebra to come outside always make me giggle.

I will not! 
Then again, I still haven't quite recovered from the loss of Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, or Bloom County/Outland as a daily strip...

Get Fuzzy is between 3 and 5x better than Fox Trot - and Fox Trot was one of the better comics running.

Hmm, is it a large comic because I've seen a Real Life comic online that I like.
I LOVE Get Fuzzy, don't get me wrong. But Don't replace Foxtrot with it! (No idea if they're keeping Sunday Foxtrot or not around here)
Mutts is cute, but it falls into my "sappy and I like it once in a while" category. One Big Happy occasionally comes up with a classic moment, but it's usually just Ruthie misunderstanding a word. Even Family Circus has the rare laugh.

We've had Get Fuzzy for a while and I love it, but agreed it's no FoxTrot.
My regular reading schedule was FBoFW, Funky Winkerbean, FoxTrot, Jump Start and Get Fuzzy. Don't know if anything will replace FT or not yet. Weekend must-reads are Opus and now FoxTrot. Add in my shiny new 2007 Page a Day Far Side calendar and life is good.

Yay for you having Jump Start. I never see that in the Chicago/St. Louis papers and I'm so glad we have it. Zits is also a must read.
I'm jealous that you have Opus though.

Love it - our alternative paper used to be the only one that carried PBS, but now our horrible "we're to the left of liberal" newspaper has started carrying it too.

To hijack - we had a lunch room at work with several tables & the paper always stayed in there so we could read something on break or at lunch. There was a guy who ALWAYS came in at lunch, would pick up most of the paper, and take it to the bathroom with him. About 10 min later, he'd come back & drop the paper BACK on the table - regardless who was sitting there. EWWWW - I *know* where that paper has been, and I certainly DON'T want to read it now, much less have it dropped next to my plate of food!
Sorry - now back to your regularly scheduled thread...
