Comical

I need a place to track all my favorite funnies. I could do it privately, but what's the fun in keeping good comics to oneself? So here I share.

Luckily for my sanity, Zippy is delivered to my inbox each day (check it out, they can deliver all sorts of your favorites), but others must be sought out. Some comics have seen better days. Calvin and Opus, in all their wonderful angst or wonder, live on in books. (You are familiar with Bloom County, I hope.) There are plenty of great-when-they're-good comics and admirably controversial or political ones to check out. The New Yorker is the clear leader in single-pane cartoons. The Far Side pioneered--and mastered--weird. Again, luckily for me these things exist.
