Oh shit, get the fuck out, you fucking idiots! Go!

Oh god I forgot to mention the Creeps! That strip is incredible. So weird and darkly humorous.

And so long as we're dreaming, I'd like a pony.

As previously mentioned, Bloom County, C&H, and Far Side. Those are my classics.

My dad had a collection of Herman strips—the closest thing to a book he's owned my entire life. I don't know why he had it, I never saw him read it, but damn if I didn't enjoy going through that thing. Unger had such distinctive line work.

As a 15 year old reading that finale for the first time, I was supremely disappointed. I wanted another punchline!

A tie between Far Side, Bloom County, and Calvin & Hobbes. i have complete collections of all three and revisit them often.

As did Watterson himself, at the time. And its only gotten worse.

As someone who has grown up reading newspaper strips, and still finds them to be a great source of humor, I was really pleased to see this project. The Watterson thing is a huge get; good for them.

Finding an overused cliche is like shooting fish in a barrel.

After TMBG's cover, this is my second-favorite use of that damn Chumbawumba song.

It's a tragedy you don't know how to read credits because there's been quite a few co-writers for the last two seasons.

e: spicoli beat me by 5 hours and I somehow didn't notice.

Jesus Christ, TJ, it's a mineral!

Oooh, a flagship item for the Seatac Sub Pop store!

I really loved the little series of celebratory hops after he pulled it off.

Because Scorcese's output wasn't lame, primarily.

It's sadly true; for every Shawshank, there's about ten Christines.

Well its not like he only gets to use it once. He was addicted through most of the 80s.

The issue is that, traditionally, comics creators don't get paid royalties or any other fees for their creation. They're paid upon delivery of the product; the comic studio reaps any further profit. So sales of Mantlo's writings may increase as the movie approaches, but he's unlikely to see any of that.
