Get Fuzzy, Dilbert, and Pearls Before Swine are the only ones I take the time to read online if I miss the local paper.
The Family Circus is an abomination. I used to think I liked Garfield, but then I realized that I really didn't. It's just the same 3 jokes over and over (those jokes are "Garfield is lazy", "Garfield eats a lot", and "Jon can't get a date" by the way). I was at Subway, and one of the workers noticed the Dilbert shirt I was wearing, so I was thinking of hitting up a conversation, see where it goes. Then I find out that her favorite comic strip is Cathy. End of conversation. I can't respect someone who has Cathy as their favorite comic. If your favorite comic is Cathy, I apologize. It still sucks.

It seems Jon has a girlfriend now, so they are down to two jokes.
I still enjoy Garfield (we're huge pet people) and I'm so glad that Jon is dating the vet now that I'm ashamed to admit it.
I'll ditto Zits, Beatle Bailey, and BC.
I even like Mary Worth..... (shame)
Reading the comics in the newspaper has been a routine of mine as long as I've been able to read, so all comics provide a clean, happy start to my day every day.
University of Kentucky basketball isn't a matter of life and death, it's much more important than that.

As for "Opus", I keep meaning to check it out online (it is available online, right?) but I keep hearing such bad things about how much Breathed has slipped ... I'm almost afraid to.
As far as I know, Opus is not available online -- a deliberate choice on Breathed's part, because he wants people to buy papers instead of just clicking right to the strip.
The Inquirer runs Opus, and it's, well, okay. Not even a pale shadow of the brilliance that was Bloom County in its prime, though.

Pearls before Swine - now available as Vol.2 Graphic Novel with writer's commentary. Dilbert and Ziggy are classics. And all the Far-Side knockoffs can be hit or miss: Close to Home, Pardon our Planet, Rhymes with Orange, Loose Parts,etc.

If anyone can explain to me how to do this, I'd give you my first born.
Oh, to stay on topic, I stopped reading the comics on a daily basis after Calvin & Hobbes left, but when I do read them: Peanuts, Zits, Baby Blues, Foxtrot, and maybe a few others.

Click on the 'Add Content' link, then enter 'comics' in the 'Find Content' field. Add the '1. Comics' selection and voila! You can then edit the strips displayed by clicking on the 'Edit Content' for the module. Only thing that stinks (IMHO) is that you can only display three funnies max.
I'll gladly take cash instead of your firstborn. ;)
