I hate Zits. A crappy strip full of lame generation gap gags for middle aged idiots, indicative of the appalling state of newspaper comics at present.

While not nearly as awesome as strips like Opus or Pearls Before Swine, at least Zits has it's moments. Half of the strips that run in the Star Ledger that are just outright unfunny, such as garfield strips from this decade, Funky Winkerbean, Cathy, etc.

Garfield is side achingly funny if you read the early 90s strips a book at a time.

Garfield has had probably four different gags, and they just repeat them over and over. Not what I would call side-achingly funny.

edit: Y'know, after thinking about it, ADD kids would probably forget about the gags and find it hilarious each time. So I guess it has its place in the world. I just wish they would take it out of the J&C.

No I LOVE early Garfield!

But I agree he should have quit a long time ago.

Early Garfield is great, but talk about flogging a dead cat…

Alright, I'll admit the early stuff was okay. At that point, his jokes hadn't been repeated a million time over.

As a fellows Star ledger subscriber, I couldnt agree more, just out of curiosity though, what exactly is the point of Funky Winkerbean?

What the hell is a funky winkerbean?

No wait, I don't care.

You're damn right you don't care.


And I admit, I try to solve the Skylock Fox riddles for kids every weekend. Some of them are mindnumbingly difficult, but others are really easy. There seems to be no middle ground.

That's because half the time there is no inferrable information from the text or the drawing :P
Zits can be ok, but it's normally exactly how Gryff described it.
