For those of you who remember what print is, what is your favourite comic?

Mine was 2000 AD's Rogue Trooper, which I started reading In primary school if I recall. God im old.

The Flash and Richie Rich were my favourites.
I used to like the War Comics too, had a huge collection and ended up selling them to second hand book shop for a fraction of what I'd paid. Quite educational actually, learnt quite a few German words from them!

I occasionally read the Garfield ones in the Sunday paper. Some were a ****er but my interest was more on the Auto section.

Digging I know, but ATTENTION ASTERIX & OBELIX FANS! This is scheduled for TV tonight!!!!!!

Asterix and Obelix vs. Caesar
11.10pm - 12.59am SBS
Monday 25 December 2006

The well-known little village from the Asterix and Obelix comic books is in trouble as it is the last place not controlled by Rome. When tax collector Claudius Incorruptus does not get his money from the villagers Julius Caesar decides to personally investigate. A special magic potion prepared by the village's druid gives incredible power to those who drink it and Obelix, who fell into the pot as a child, has been invincible ever since.

I'm too old to remember Comic's, but comic strips... Calvin and Hobbes, The Far side, and Snake.

......


............

And for those in the ripoff... sorry, the banking sector...
