    My vote goes to Calvin & Hobbes with The Far side a close second tied with Garfield.
    Any other great series out there? If ye havent read any of the three I mentioned GO READ 'EM!

    Calvin:>I going to be a millionaire when I grow up.
    Dad:>You will have to work hard to earn that.
    Calvin:>No I wont.You will.
    Dad:> ME???!!?
    Calvin:>Im just going to inherit it.
    OR
    Calvin:>I dont like the term "boy"
    Hobbes:>you dont?
    Calvin:>I prefer "chromosonally advantaged youth"

    GET CALVIN & HOBBES smile.gif

    You're forgetting the cartoon that began the paradigm shift into the world of hyper-globally dynamic linked infrastructure, spirally fused to a pro-active approach to customer, franchise, syndicate and brand development: DILBERT

    I am a huge fan of Doug Adams. Hitch-hikers Guide and all of that. Laugh my ass off every 6 months or so when I go back to his books.

    Anything by Robert Rankin rules.

    Nuff Said



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,313 ✭✭✭Paladin


    I only meant comics.

    Douglas Adams was quite good too though.

    Hmmmm. Robert Rankin.
    That sounds familiar but I just cant remember what he writes.

    Pratchett,
    the quintissential esotheric on humourous chronicles.

    Stephen King, despite his reknowned reputation for erm! the occult, has a very sharp sarcastic wit that is present in many of his books. for someone like me who loves sarcasm, its kewl. others, though miss him entirely. confused.gif
