As much as I love news, my favorite part of the paper has always been the comics.
This Sunday I hope you’ll take a close look at the comics survey in our Arts & Leisure section and online at Kansas.com.
Every few years we survey readers to determine the popularity of current comics. It also gives readers the chance to check out new comics and see if any of them are good enough to replace the current lineup.
If you’re a regular reader of our comics section, this is your chance to tell us what you like or dislike.The survey will take only a few minutes to complete.
Here are some of the new comics that Lori Linenberger, our features editor, has picked out for your consideration:
Argyle Sweater: Launched in 2006, this is a situational comic featuring absurd but often cerebral humor.
DeFlocked: Four outcasts — a sheep, two dogs and an 8-year-old boy — are forced to coexist in American suburbia.
Family Tree: The Tree family — Maggie and Ames and their kids Twig and Ted — take on modern life.
Ollie and Quentin: Best friends Ollie (a seagull) and Quentin (a lugworm) go on adventurous romps together.
The Pajama Diaries: Jill, a young mom and career woman, records her family life in a day-by-day account.
Red and Rover: Ten-year-old Red and his dog Rover share their extraordinary friendship.
Scary Gary: Gary, a retired vampire, and his henchman, Leopold, move to the suburbs to seek a peaceful life.
One Comment
Comics are a great way to look at ourselves and life situations. To be able to relate a situation from a different perspective allows us to consider balancing our actions. I have never initially liked the new comics but have come to enjoy them. I hated losing Cathy but Life of Lila is so much better. Zits, Baby Blues are great.
