Gocomics - the newspaper comics

[DougGraves]

I would make a comment explaining what newspapers are, but this is one place on the internet where I assume everyone has actually read a newspaper before.

 

I recently rediscovered gocomics.com where you can read the newspaper comics - including their entire back library for decades.

 

I've been reading Arlo and Janis as well as Frazz.  I would read Calvin and Hobbes but I own all of the books.  And they don't have the Farside.

 

Any other comics on it I should read?

What's a newspaper?

 

But in all seriousness, if you've already got Calvin and Hobbes, and they don't have Farside, I suppose all that's left is Bloom County.

Beyond that?  Everything else is generally too Garf for my tastes.

Thanks for the tip @DougGraves I didn't know that site was a thing.

 

Looks like they have a Farside link that takes you to an external site.

 

Edit .... Looking through the A-Z list.

 

They have The Boondocks, highly recommend getting into that one from the beginning.

Foxtrot and Foxtrot Classic might be good.

 

Personally, I used to love the Geech comic, but that might just be because it lampoons small town (presumably Southern) culture, my kind of folk.

 

I've not seen it in years so I've no idea what the current team is turning out, but I used to love Dick Tracy, except when Chester Gould got on that "Moon Maiden" kick decades back.  That got very weird.  I'm glad his successors dealt with that.  But I've book collections of some of the earliest stories and they read quite well.

 

I don't see Flash Gordon, The Phantom, or Prince Valiant...rats.
