Time for some light-hearted fun. Vote for your favourite and post some of your favourite ones too. As well as my sig, here's some more. Gary Larson is a genius.

We had something similiar to an eraser fight at my Highschool on Curacao, although it was a bit more fun than what those dudes are doing.

We had those big ass rotary fans in the classes, so we used to put them on 3 (highest/fastest) and then throw the erasers into them. Pang, they used to hit against the fan blades and knock someone else standing around. Once a teacher walked in & smacked him right in the forehead, thank god he was cool, he picked it up, threw it right back in the fan & left again. :lol:

Yet another reason to visit the famed island.

The Calvin and Hobbes snowmen book is one of my all-time favourites. (Y)

I had a lot of trouble deciding between Calvin and Hobbes and the Far Side, but in the end, I went with the Far Side. I also enjoyed Garfield when the comics were in their prime.

I like Calvin and Hobbes, but I had to give my vote to Garfield, because some of those... were just hilarious.

by **Jing** on Wed Mar 15, 2006 1:26 pm

as funny as garfield is... i had to choose calvin and hobbes....

by **Cameron** on Wed Mar 15, 2006 2:07 pm

I have had a page-a-day garfield calendar every year for the past 3-4, so I do read a lot of garfield. Sometimes they can be kind of repetitive but I totally love a lot of the sarcasm. There's one Garfield I got... no one I asked got it. It's like, a typo or something, a mixture of a few ... so weird. Somehow, I found it the funniest of all (because it made no sense). Tomorrow I'll try to scan it in when I have a bit of time.

We also have about 7 calvin + hobbes books, they are great too.

Oh, there's this hilarious online comic I know... http://cheston.com/pbf/archive.html The perry bible fellowship. I'll post a few random examples: (You really gotta check them out, because there's no concise theme)

my favorite comic period is definateally www.HLComic.com thats like an internet comic though.

but besides that, I stand by my previous post

by **Cable** on Wed Mar 15, 2006 2:15 pm

First one's funny, second is cruel. I'm one too talk, though; I like Larson's stuff and the guy's a nut.

kevC: Nice ones... I'll be checking out that site later (y)

Cameron: I swear, I've been reading that comic strip for like a year now :shock:

And it's my favourite one by far, you have excellent taste good sir (first TPB and now PBF)

I've actually emailed the creator telling him what a great comic strip it is. He’s a real nice dude too.. You should mail him as well; nothing beats random appreciation emails :wink:

Here are some of my favourites:

Farside and Calvin and Hobbes were always some of my favorites. I used to read the Spider-Man cartoons in the newspaper before I stopped subscribing to the Washington Post.

LOL

I haven't been reading them too long actually, but I made up for that by reading every one of them in one sitting. I actually found the site when someone at a Raptors board posted a thread called "Matt Bonner Sighting!" with a link to this cartoon:

The cartoon made me laugh on its own (besides the Bonner sighting) so I read more of them.

Lol, those ones that Mazz posted are good. There's something really comical about them to me.
