My favorite comic strips...


HAGAR THE HORRIBLE....



Hagar the Horrible is one my favorite cartoon and i like all the characters involved in this cartoon.. Created in 1973 by Dik Browne, and now in the hands of his son Chris, Hagar the Horrible is published in more than 1900 newpapers in 58 countries(13 different countries).


DENNIS THE MENACE...


Dennis the menace, the five-year-old storehouse of mischief was created in 1951 and his creator Hank Ketcham has assured worried fans that Dennis will never show the passage of time, he will always remain five years old.The title ‘Dennis the menace’ was coined by Ketcham’s wife in a moment of utter despair.I love the way Dennis torments his neighbour Mr.Wilson.



CALVIN AND HOBBES...



Calvin and Hobbes is a comic strip written and illustrated by Bill Watterson, following the humorous antics of Calvin, an imaginative six-year old boy, and Hobbes, his energetic and sardonic-albeit stuffed- tiger. The pair are named after John Calvin, a 16th-century French Reformation theologian, and Thomas Hobbes, a 17th-century English political philosopher.


GARFIELD...


Garfield is a daily-syndicated comic strip created by Jim Davis. Published since June 19, 1978, it chronicles the life of the title character, the cat Garfield (named for Davis' grandfather); his owner, Jon Arbuckle; and the dog, Odie.

Rose Is Rose is a syndicated comic strip, written by Pat Brady since its creation in 1984, and drawn since March 2004 by Don Wimmer. The strip revolves around Rose and Jimbo Gumbo, their son Pasquale.Rose is Rose is unusual, especially in modern comic strips, in that it has a generally positive and cheerful outlook on lifeRose and sometimes Jimbo are drawn as little children to emphasize "inner child" experiences.
