Oh, really liked Calvin and Hobbes.
When I was young there was a newspaper that will have a kids section on Sundays and would be there stripp comics of Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, Zits or Kid Paddle. I liked a lot Kid Paddle and Calvin and Hobbes. Also because of Spanish language would read a lot Mafalda or Motadelo y Filemón.
As a children Calvin and Hobbes or Mafalda are the ones that touch more my heart. However if I count strip comics for adults Dickie or Joan Cornella are also in my heart.
Easy. Calvin and Hobbes.
Why? Because Bill Watterson has a way with words and ideas.
As a writer, I consider him one of my writing inspirations. He could squeeze so many ideas and concepts into just a couple of dialogue balloons. That's the sign of a great writer. And he covers many themes in his writing as well, universal, human themes, that really connect with the reader.

Have an opinion?
I absolutely love Calvin and Hobbes. I also really like Far Side although it wasn't really a continuing story.
I like Questionable Content for a web series comic
I voted Calvin and Hobbes, but doesn't Calvin have a secret identity of being a space hero, so does he really count?
I used to really like Garfield but the jokes are always the same... therefore I'd go with Peanuts.
Whoever picks Peanuts over Calvin and Hobbes is a basic bitch.
or maybe they are just older and give it points for longevity? That said, Calvin and Hobbes was brilliant.
Length of time a strip was around. Schulz did it from 1950 until he dropped in 2000.
Bill Watterson went from 1985 to 1995.
I will say that the earlier Peanuts of the 1950s and 1960s and 1970s were more timely, whereas by the 1980s on they were rather formulaic.
@Curmudgeon I know what the word means, it never occurred to me that anybody would award extra points for dragging on and on in mediocrity for decade after decade, taking up a slot on the funny papers so newer, more talented artists couldn't break in.
Comic strips like Peanuts running for 50 years is why people stopped reading the funny papers.
True, by the 1980s Peanuts was "running on fumes". But the earlier strips from the 1950s and 1960s and even into the 1970s were surprisingly timely.
@Curmudgeon Not only did the writing degenerate, so did the art. I remember seeing OLD Peanuts for the first time and being SHOCKED at what a night and day difference it was.
Calvin and Hobbes ❤❤
