In summary, In my opinion, xkcd is the best comic strip because it is so simple and makes you laugh out loud.

Calvin and & Hobbes is the all-time champion of comic strips.

http://www.comics.com/comics/pearls/" has since won my heart too. Entirely different from Watterson's work, but really funny in its own right.

Seriously??

Have a look at the following site and scroll through the comics (they require a very very simplistic mind):

Agree with rootX on xkcd. Also like We the Robots. In the past I liked Men in Hats and PhD Comics. And Morphism just posted the best one ever!

I suppose Cyanide and Happiness might work for you. I don't really find comics funny (Let's start a club Cyrus!) but a friend of mine loves there's. Its at explosm as well.

Isaac Asimov's Treasury of Humour has some fun stories and jokes in it. It's quite old now though.


And for comics...

The Boondocks (which has also become a cartoon on adultswim)

i think we can get cyrus going if we all wish real hard. i remember being asked once if i liked prairie home companion, which i then thought the absolute stupidest show in the world. since then i have rather enjoyed it, especially guy noir and other dopey radio show imitations.
maybe we should refer him to some gary larson strips for starters, or the classical series by garry trudeau on reagan's brain.

apparently all funny cartoonists are named gar[r]y.

xkcd is the answer!

It's the only one I read and have ever read.

Long like the xkcd.

I've read these before, but they never made me laugh.

I also never laughed at cartoons like: elmer fudd, the road runner, wally coyote.

But I like the simpons and family guy. Those are funny and make me laugh. I think its the type of humor.

I've found the older I get, the less likely I am to laugh at printed comic strips.

But an old Far Side can still bring me a chuckle.

Simpsons, Family Guy, and South Park ... all great.
