What's your all-time most hated comic strip??

[SmileyBoy]

For me, that would be:

1) Prickly City
2) Mallard Fillmore
3) Rose Is Rose
4) Family Circus

Howzabout you??

[mindfulNJ]

1. Family Circus

The lamest "comic" ever written.:P

[Warren Stupidity]

2. lame but not disgusting

The stupid rightwing duck crap gets my vote.

[SmileyBoy]

3. Prickly City is even worse.

WAAAAAAY waaaaay worse.

[regnaD kciN]

19. Not really...

Although Prickly City can be pretty reliably obnoxious, it does take swipes at the right on occasion.

The Daily Duck Droppings, on the other hand, are merely a steady diet of simplistic shots at the left that don't even try to be funny or entertaining -- think Sean Hannity in a duck costume. (Now, think of Sean Hannity in a duck costume on the first day of hunting season...)

[Kire]

5. rightwing duck?

does that have anything to do with DarkWing Duck?

[SmileyBoy]

7. OMG, I can't believe I ever watched that show when I was young.

:puke:

[sasquatch]

26. You leave Darkwing Duck out of this

:grr:

[Reverend_Smitty]

4. I concur...

I mean how many jokes can you make about a little kid saying spaghetti wrong?

[MissB]

6. B.C. (nt)

[mwb970]

30. Also B.C.

I always skip it because of the religious stuff. It seems out of place in a comic strip set in prehistory.

[WoodrowFan]

35. it USED to be really good

before he became a wingnut it was really very funny!

[blueraven95]

8. Zippy

pretentious and obnoxious.

[El Fuego]

9. But I live for Rose is Rose!!

Love the graphic comic surrealism.

I HATE: Cathy

[SmileyBoy]

10. EEEEWWWWW!!!!! You're kidding me...

That strip is basically an assault on the reader's intelligence.

[El Fuego]

43. Au Contraire, Pierre!!!!

I think it's bloody brilliant!!!

And I like::thumbsup:

Get Fuzzy
Foxtrot
Sherman's Lagoon
Dilbert
Mutts

And I also HATE with a passion: PEANUTS!!! Charles Shultz died, why won't it GO AWAY!!!!??? Die already Charlie Brown!

[Blue-Jay]

11. Cathy.

Not funny. Don't care. Shut up.

[TransitJohn]

28. Yes, Cathy

followed closely by Mary Worth. WTF is the point?

[NightTrain]

12. Your #2 is my #1!

Thankfully, none of my local newspapers carry that piece of reactionary shit.

[SmileyBoy]

13. My paper does.

One of the professors in one of the halls on campus has a bunch of Mallard comics pinned on the bulletin board in front of his office.

So you know what I did one night??

I ripped them all off and threw them in a trash can on the other side of campus.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[NightTrain]

14. But, but.... I thought there WERE no Republicans in Academia!

That's what all the right-wing pundits say, and they never lie.

[SmileyBoy]

15. There's plenty of RW teachers at my college.

But they seem to all be concentrated in the Agriculture and Engineering departments. The ag and engineering colleges at my school are NOTORIOUSLY right-wing. Most of the liberal arts, performing arts, architecture, and around half of the athletic faculty are liberal.

[Hardrada]

16. L'il Abner

It was somewhat amusing but this did not make up for its sterotyping and misogyny. And Al Capp would be a freeper were he still around. I remember how nasty he was to John and Yoko.

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. The Dysfunctional Family Circus, though, rocks!

And for the absolute best, you go here, to get the cartoons with shitloads of hilarious captions:

[Rowdyboy]

18. Mallard Fillmore, no question...its vile....I gave it up about 6 months

ago during the last days of the election. I haven't missed it.

[parsifal_e]

20. "For better or for worse" . hate it!

[xmas74]

21. I don't mind For Better or Worse

It has been topical in the past. Remember a few years ago when many newspapers refused to run it?

[Mike Daniels]

36. Thank god there's another for Better or Worse hater out there

Mediocre family strip that became relevant because of a gay story thread and the hoopla that arose.

I noticed that Lawrence is almost never to be seen anymore except when Liz is having some sort of existential/relationshsip crisis.

Beyond that, recycled plot lines and God in the Machine devices abound...April has friend issues, Mike and his wife struggle to be parents, Ellie has aging and weight issues, Liz has relationship issues, Mike and Liz lose employment or direction in life and find it again one week later, blah, blah, blah

I'm personally waiting for Grandpa and/or his wrinkled old lover to kick off to see how little space she uses to summarize that plot twist.

[last_texas_dem]

22. Gotta go with Mallard Fillmore

Luckily, my local paper no longer runs it, now that we don't have the FReeper (really, he literally was one) editor we used to have.

I've never actually seen "Prickly City"; I'd be interested to see what it's like. "Rose is Rose" is usually so off-the-wall I don't even attempt to understand it anymore.

[donheld]

23. I don't have a "most hated" comic strip

If i don't like one i don't read it. Why get emotionally envolved with it. So la-de-da :evilgrin:

[realisticphish]

24. Doonesbury

:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:
:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:
:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:











just kidding :P


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[VOX]

25. "Nancy" by Ernie Bushmiller.

Not funny. Characters hideously drawn. Mind-numblingly wretched.

[realisticphish]

27. whoa, wait a minute

notice a resemblance? i think nancy and sluggo are adult boobahs. god help us all.


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Borgnine]

29. My head just exploded.

As a parody of bad comic strips, that's actually pretty funny. But as a straight comic strip trying to be funny, that gives me diarrhea.

[WoodrowFan]

34. agreed

One of the all time WORST strips.

[fujiyama]

31. Don't forget

BC.

Another RW piece of shit.

One of the comedians was making fun of Cathy the other night. It was kinda funny. What a stupid 'comic'.

Mallard Fillmore takes the cake. I don't get the paper and don't read the comics anymore (stopped after Calvin and Hobbes), but Fillmore is the most blatantly RW crap I've seen passed off as a comic.

[RadicalMom]

32. Family Circus, and it's just as bad since his son took over.

[sniffa]

33. cathy, dagwood, maLLard, garfieLd

pLuggers, broom hiLda, hagar the horribLe, b.c., the wizard of id, the phantom, fLash gordon, dick tracy, andy kapp

[Mike Daniels]

37. Peanuts post mid-70's

Basically, once Schultz became a commerical whore and started licensing his characters out to any firm that would pay the fee.

[Bridget Burke]

38. Brewster Rockit: Space Guy

This unfunny, crudely drawn strip is not the most dreadful on the Houston Chronicle's comic page. I'm quite capable of ignoring the worst offenders ("Mallard Fillmore," etc.). (The Chronicle has a huge selection, since it retained the strips run by its competition, the Houston Post--which it shut down.)

No, I hate Brewster because they canceled "9 Chickweed Lane" to make room for it.

[terrya]

40. The Chicago Tribune jettisoned "Beetle Bailey" for this.

And a 30 year old comic strip about the military is funnier than this allegedly "hip, funny" strip. I agree with you about "Brewster Rockit", Bridget.

[DelawareValleyDem]

39. Anything that involves that fundie Johnny Hart

What a preacher

Mallard Fillmore, too. It's not funny and it's not topical. He just picks from a grab bag of freeper talking points to harp on.

[Beer Snob-50]

41. definatly family circus

very lame,

[annonymous]

42. I hate Mary Worth, Brenda Starr and Marmaduke

I have never heard of Prickly City. My local newspaper recently changed their comics section and eliminated some comics, but worst of all they put Doonsbury and The Boondocks on the Opinion page. I only read a few comics on a daily basis, Dilbert, Garfield, Doonsbury and The Boondocks. Most comics I ignore or only look at ocasionally.

[dean_dem]

44. The Family Circus

People that find that crap funny need to get their head examined.
