My favorite comic strips are:
- Mickey Mouse (pre-1954, when it was an adventure strip
with continuity rather than gag-a-day)
- Pogo
- Krazy Kat
Pretty retro tastes, eh?

I really liked Calvin and Hobbes a lot. I was sorry when it ended.

FBOFW is my favorite. I love the way all the characters have
progressed, rather than be static in time. Favorite character - Michael
Cathy is another one. The character has aged a bit, but it kind of
grew stale after a while - Favorite character - Cathy
Baby Blues was another one that aged the characters to a point. I
liked it better when Zoe was an only child. Favorite character - Zoe
Dilbert - because I identify so much with it. Favorite character Alice.
Calvin and Hobbes- Favorite character - Hobbes (Love reading this
aloud to my sister and laughing. Brilliant comic strip)

Pogo. Favourite character was the alligator, although Ma'amselle was nice,
too. These days, first on my list to read is Kevin and Kell, but no favourite
character.

Re #6: I should add "Peanuts" (early years) to my list of favorites
as well. Great strip in the 1950s through the mid-1960s; declined
thereafter.

I'm enjoying Get Fuzzy. (Can't remember the dog's name at the moment)
Rose Is Rose (Rose's alter ego)
Calvin and Hobbes when it was out was good. (Hobbes)
Red and Rover isn't widely carried, but I enjoyed reading it when I
lived in Yakima (Rover)
Foxtrot
The Phantom used to be good, especially explaining history or when the
Phantom did detective work. It was a boyhood favorite
Non Sequitir (N/A)
For Better Or For Worse (no real big favorite in there, they are all
good)

Peanuts...if you look at a lot of the favorite strips you named,
particularly Doonesbury, Bloom County, Cathy, For Better or For Worse,
B.C., Boondocks .etc, all of their artists-- and they openly admit it--
are disciples of Charles Schulz. The influence of Peanuts is wideranging.
And the greatest of all comic strip characters ever is Snoopy of course
