Grin & Bear It and Bloom County are (or were) the best topical cartoons.

Jeff MacNelly and Michael Ramirez the best editorial cartoons.

Calvin & Hobbes besides being very funny is also able to slip in philosophical questions. Arlo & Janis, The Grizzwells and The Born Loser are also all funny cartoons.

My favorites: Garfield, Curtis, Beetle Bailey, Blondie, Lola

Worst/execrable: Doonesbury, This Modern World (about as close to pure evil put in ink)

There are so many I miss. So I will just name the first two that came to mind;
Lil Abner
Steve Canyon

And darn near everyone listed here before I got to mine.

Li’l Abner. Fine social satire.

Calvin and Hobbes. When this ceased I quit reading the comics.

Prince Valiant was good from the 1930s to the 1990s.

Worst: Doonsbury. I refused to read it back in 1971.

Sign of a good ego is the ability to laugh at yourself. Something that Libs can’t do!

Well, I’ll have 2nd the “Pogo” nomination above. Another top favorite of mine is a strip called “Arnold” which did not last long at all.

Best: L'il Abner, Bloom County, Far Side, Shoe, Calvin and Hobbes, Sad Sack, Dilbert.

But honestly, I don't think I've regularly read the comics in 10 years.

Steve Canyon is the one who introduced the SEALs to the general public during the big war following WWII.

Almost forgot one of my favorites:

Non Sequitor

Excellent satire, and boy did he love to lampoon the Gen-X/Y/Z slackers..........

Willie & Ethel was usually pretty good, as well.
