    When I was a kid, I read European stuff like Asterix, Tintin, Spirou et Fantasio...

      And where is Carl Barks? Huh?
      DeathByTheSword mentioned Spirou et Fantasio. Its Robbedoes in Dutch. I don't know the other ones you mentioned.

        Asterix, that is the name of the one that my art teacher in junior high had.

        ACK!

          The cover he posted was not of a Franquin Spirou, it was by Tome & Janry.

          Herriman was the author of Krazy Kat, an American comic from 1911 till 1944, and probably the best comic ever. I know Bill Waterson thought so.

          EC was the publisher of all those 50's comics, including MAD. Wood, Davis, Elder, Kurtzman, Frazetta to name a few...

          And Barks of course is THE Duckman, the creator of Uncle Scrooge, Gyro Gearloose, Gladstone Gander etc...

              Some links don't show up. Here's a Reiser. He's hillarious, btw.

                      That Mobius looks good. And Reisus looks very much like a Playboy cartoon-type deal.

                      Asterix, I remember that! I used to read some of those. I thought that he was one of the guys in "The Lost Vikings" game.

                        What do you mean by "Playboy cartoon-type deal"? Reiser is really, really funny. But its not just dirty jokes. The only men's magazine cartoon I remember was in a Penthouse. A cute naked girl was about to have sex with a bearded guy, and she asks "Please, be gentle, its my first time with a communist."

                          I've liked Calvin & Hobbes but haven't gotten to read it all that much. However, I don't know if I can resist The Complete Calvin and Hobbes, it would make a fine companion to my The Complete Far Side. I wonder if it was wise to pre-order it, it looks like decent savings on Amazon.com.
