Take that, Herriman and Schulz!
:: Posted by Bryan @ 8/21/2006 03:45:00 AM For Better or For Worse: Best Strip Ever?
A columnist for Editor and Publisher has named Lynn Johnston's For Better or For Worse the best newspaper comic strip of the last 111 years. On the basis of art, sprawling cast, age of characters, emotional resonance, and lack of sexism and ethnic stereotyping, E&P's Dave Astor says FBOFW beats out U.S. contenders like Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Doonesbury, Krazy Kat, Little Nemo, and Terry and the Pirates for top spot.
Beyond a dismissive reference to Pickles, no mention of any other current strips (Zippy? Lynda Barry?).
