I would have to say, that Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite. I also really loved Garfield as a child. There's also Peanuts. Which, to be honest, I didn't appreciate much until recently. Love the Snoopy and Woodstock.

I don't really read comic books, but I do read graphic novels sometimes.

I'm not big into comics...although Mau5 was an excellent holocaust memoir.

Is it really? I have seen that at the library. So is it written and illustrated by a holocaust survivor?

The author's dad was a holocaust survivor, but yes, it's a true story and a bit of a romance on top of it between the dad and his mom, and the mice are Jews and the cats are Nazis.

I almost cried reading it again, hehe. I've always had imaginary friends growing up and that just touched me when he turned into a stuffed animal when he had no time for him to play.

I read This One Summer a couple years ago. I thought it was very good.

What's it about?

It's about these two younger girls in adolescence. They're on summer vacation with each other and their families. They're at a point in their lives where they're growing apart, and also curious about the older teenagers they see in town and around the beach. Its a pretty realistic seeming story. Growing up, growing apart, learning about people, behaviors, and how things are, and aren't.

I'll have to look into it!

In my childhood mostly I read manga since my brother bought them. If manga counted, then my favorite would be Doraemon and other classic manga. I don't like the newer ones, except a manga called Watamote.

My all-time favorite so far is Tintin. He's my childhood crush. Still love it!

Now, I stick with these 3 webcomics:
- Lunarbaboon


- Erma


- Silent Horror. (A horror story. No pic since the graphic is vulgar.)

There are still lots of webcomics, but they are from my country and discuss politic issues. So, I don't think I would write it here.

Turtle Rider! Manga counts! I've never read manga before, but I know some people really get into it.

I think I've seen that comic by Lunarbaboon! I should check out more.

If we're talking about Manga, then I am currently tackling the infamously long epic of Inuyasha. I have so far gotten to the third VizBig edition of the story. Since they're are 18 of them, I have a bit of a ways to go yet.

I also love the Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Manga. It's very different from the 90's Anime that was made. I think that what it tells, the original concept for the story, is a lot better than the Anime. However, the Anime has it's charm and I'll always love it to death (especially since it has a redub being made right now of it and one I absolutely adore!).

I watched Sailor Moon every so often in the 90s, but really only because my friends were so into it!

It sounds like you've got some reading cut out for you.

I always liked Richie Rich, GI Combat, Sgt. Rock and most all of the Disney Comics. Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck, most of all. Heck I still read a few pages of them, on the days I actually eat something.

[bounceback]

As a kid I loved Archie, Richie Rich, and Casper the friendly ghost. I really got into garfield comics and have them all and was a collector for the longest time. Now I just have the comics. I also like Tundra comics, an Alaska based comic strip which is pretty hilarious.

[Artchic528]

My favorite comic strip is Garfield. There is just something so charming about that sarcastic, overweight orange tabby that I simply adore!

Garfield is awesome. Have you ever seen the cartoons? I really liked them. Especially the Halloween special.

I used to watch the original 2D hand drawn cartoon "Garfield and Friends" back in the day as a kid. Always wondered what Sheldon (the chick who was basically an egg with feet sticking out at the bottom) looked like.

[Loose Screw x 2]

For me it was Snuffy Smith, Garfield, Hi & Lois, Beetle Baily, Hagar the Horrible, The Family Circle, Peanuts, some other one that I forget the name of and Calvin and Hobbs. Oh! And Funky Winkerbean. I used to watch Sailor Moon sometimes on Toonami too back when I had cable TV. Lita was my favorite character. I loved that she stood up to bullies, had awesome electrical attacks and had a soft side where she likes to bake pastries for her friends. I think I feel my heart pounding. What a woman!
