I realize many people don't read newspapers anymore. I don't get them very often myself, but when I do get my hands on a copy I always check out the comics first.
For those who still read newspapers on a regular or semi-regular basis, what are your favorite and least favorite comic strips currently running?
My top two favorites are Pearls Before Swine...
...and Zits.
On the flip side, I absolutely loathe Family Circus. The kids are just downright annoying, and I hate how it bashes the reader over the head with religion half the time (and this is coming from a Christian). I also dislike comics that stopped being remotely funny long ago, like Hagar the Horrible.
As a quick aside, I wish they would retire old, defunct strips like Peanuts and free more space up for newer comics. I like Calvin and Hobbes as much as the next person, but if people really want to read them again they can just buy the book collections.
