There was a Judge Dredd comic that was a parody of Calvin and Hobbes. It was about this somewhat unhinged kid with incredibly powerful psychic powers that could turn his stuffed toy into a murderous tiger, and used it to kill his abusive parents and various other people.
It was actually kind of dark. Funny though, in a "jesus why would anyone write this" sort of way.

The best comics were Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, and The Far Side.
Also, Garfield without Garfield is a stupid idea. You can make anyone look crazy if they think something is there that isn't. Garfield without Garfield's 'speaking' is a much better idea.
i love calvin and hobbes so very much. I bought every trade they released, then when the complete edition was released, i bought that too, because it looked gorgeous.

I will freely admit that I didn't want to poop all over the Peanuts parade and so I just skimmed the OP when it first appeared. It's not that I don't like Peanuts, it's just that... okay, I don't much care for Peanuts. Except for two particular holiday specials with which I think we all are acquainted.
But Calvin & Hobbes was my daily ritual with my Dad every morning until it ended. My copy of Attack of the Deranged Killer Mutant Monster Snow Goons is nearly disintegrating, and my snowmen always had three arms and multiple heads.
That and Pee Wee's Playhouse probably explain a lot, now that I think about it.
Peanuts IS responsible for this, though, which may or may not be on my iPod at this very moment.
old Peanuts strips can be pretty darn funny sometimes
it's definitely no Beetle Bailey or Blondie, strips that have never been funny and continue to exist only because removing them from the comics page would be too much trauma for the Greatest Generation to handle
Marmaduke is a member of the Boy Scouts of America, despite being a large dog rather than a boy. He has developed the sole shared characteristic of all Boy Scouts: the compulsive need to help old ladies across the street, even if it means dropping everything you're doing (like being walked by your owner-man) and physically harming the old lady (in this case, by biting a chunk out of her arm).
Marmaduke's Owner-Man vainly attempts to exert control over the situation by doing a racist World War II-era impersonation of Hideki Tojo.
Marmaduke, who is skateboarding, knocks over a man in an ill-fitting suit who had previously seen everything but a skateboarding dog knocking him over.
Marmaduke is trying to help his owner-lady prepare chili by holding a ladle in his mouth and stirring the pot. Owner-Lady is horrified to discover that her dinner is now three degrees of separation away from a Great Dane's asshole.

I used to have a little model of this I made and painted when I was a kid

calvin and hobbes will always be the best though

And every year my mom would give me a little money to buy some books.
And inevitably I'd spend every cent of it on the new Far Side book and candy.
She stopped giving me money for the book fair after a while.

Holy crap, I didn't think anyone else in the world watched this.
"Garfield, since when did you like pumpkin innards?"

See, that works. Taking out Garfield all together just makes it stupid.
the whole pirate part terrified me as a kid, and still kinda freaks me out to this day
also, any episode featuring the wierdos from john's family is awesome

Peanuts is a good strip but I never really loved the comic as much as the cartoon and the specials
and I bet nobody remembers it but my favorite comic strip of all time was Bloom County
