> Occasionally it makes me laugh, but rarely. I do like Electra though. As for Dilbert, hands down the funniest strip out there right now. Scott Adams goes from the mundane to the very bizzare which makes me happy, and the man has a very sarcastic, cynical wit. Actually, after I read The Dilbert Future I decided that Scott Adams being Scott Adams is a lot funnier than Scott Adams writing Dilbert. However, I do think he's a bit similar to Dave Barry, but that's fine by me.

Dilbert rulez. ;-) That has to be one of my all time favorite comics. Catbert is probably my fav character. At the space center I work, I'm constantly annoying this one anti-Dilbert fellow with comicstrip copies on his buletin board. :) The ironic thing is, he's such a Dilbert-esque person...

Fox Trot is good; I *really* can relate to Zits...
I also like 'Mutts' a lot.

> There are a ton of really bad strips, but to me the worst offenders are: The Family Circus, Beetle Bailey (oh look, Beetle's sleeping! har har!), Marmaduke and Dennis the Menace.

I didn't know Marmaduke was still in print. jeez...

> There are a lot of mediocre ones out there as well. My paper prints two pages a day (more on Sundays), but I could probably be happy with 3/4 of a page....

Wow. we get 1 page on Thur/Fri/Sat; 3 on Sunday.
