      I think the ranking of classic comic strips would have to look like this: 1) Far Side 2) Calvin and Hobbes 3) Garfield 4) Dilbert 5) Peanuts ...198) Family Circus

      Garfield over Peanuts disqualifies you from having opinions about comic strips, but Matt's list is not nearly as terrible as this one. At least he has the top two correct.

      It's sad that today's conservatives don't appreciate Little Orphan Annie -- the great anti-New Deal strip. Was loved by Clare Boothe Luce, Jesse Helms and Ronald Reagan back in the day.

      I'm not saying it never had merit. But Far Side and Calvin & Hobbes were so far beyond any other strip. Their only competition is Peanuts, which was both revolutionary & startlingly durable as a quality strip. Annie was a corpse propped on the funny pages for decades.

      Have your read Annie in the 1930s?

          Not in any depth, admittedly. I'm interested in how you could possibly leave Larson & Watterson out of your top 5 if you have spent much time with them. Pure genius.
