- confusedbinky79, on 07/07/2009, -4/+46This is the best XKCD ever!
- Puppetfunk, on 07/07/2009, -1/+39Family Circus has got to be one one the least entertaining strips since Ziggy.
- PointGiven, on 07/08/2009, -0/+19I always thought the Calvin and Hobbes raccoon story was the most depressing.
- HoldenH, on 07/08/2009, -0/+12***** Family Circus.
- DarthVolta, on 07/07/2009, -0/+8Reading those comics does make me feel confident about my own future. If such witless, shallow, humorless idiots can make a living writing awful comic strips like that, I'm sure I'll always have a decent job.
- AbyssNOLF, on 07/07/2009, -0/+8You know what they say: talking about it helps ease the pain.
Also something about misery. - hokans777, on 07/08/2009, -1/+9Calvin and Hobbes and FoxTrot are the best comic strips, hands down.
- joenuck89, on 07/08/2009, -0/+8Funky Winkerbean is the most depressing comic in the Sunday paper.
- whatthefu, on 07/08/2009, -0/+7The Comics Curmudgeon covers stuff like this every day: http://www.joshreads.com
- Atario, on 07/07/2009, -0/+7Gah. Thanks, article. Now I want to drink myself stupid.
Oh, and by the way, I think Momma was saying the guy's fat, not hung. - gridbread, on 07/08/2009, -0/+6Newspaper?
- wc3452, on 07/08/2009, -1/+7Kind of surprised this one wasn't in there...saddest comic ever.

I love Dilbert. - Tanze, on 07/08/2009, -0/+4wheres Bloom County when you need it?
- bci84, on 07/08/2009, -0/+4Your friend needs to hire an artist.
- smacksaw, on 07/08/2009, -0/+4See, those comics can be funny as long as someone adds snappy commentary.
Man, I remember when people who spoofed the Family Circus got in trouble. Best thing that ever happened to that piece of crap. - kanojo1969, on 07/08/2009, -0/+4When I was young, like 7 or so, I would read the strips in my Mom's weekly magazines... stuff like Marmaduke, calvin & hobbes, wizard of id... Even then 90% of them were never funny at all, were mostly about depressing subjects, and even at that young age I was confused as to why they kept publishing them.
As a measure of how dull they were, when Garfield started appearing it was a fresh new voice, demonstrably more edgy than the others.
Nothing has really changed at all. Of all the strips that have been going for decades, calvin & hiobbes is probably the only one that has consistently been funny and non-depressing. if gary larson had kept doing the far side, that might still be good too.
but all the rest are crap, have always been crap, and will always be crap. how on earth do they get a syndication deal from a publisher? I just don't get it. anyway, it's nothing new and it's not related to our current economic woes. even in times of prosperity, most comic strip characters are in a perpetual recession. - robbob, on 07/08/2009, -0/+3that was uplifting
- DarthVolta, on 07/08/2009, -1/+4Is it possible for me to digg half of your comment and bury the other half?
- Nainsell, on 07/08/2009, -1/+4Dugg for inconsistency.
- cheerfulcynic, on 07/08/2009, -0/+2at least chris ware doesn't bother with trying to give actual words to the sadness.
that, and the graphic design is AMAZING - nepidae, on 07/08/2009, -0/+2those comics were terrible, I couldn't even read past the 2nd one
- bluekangaroo, on 07/09/2009, -0/+2That list depressed me because it was so lame. May as well put and expose up about how bad Mary Worth and Rex Morgan M.D. are.
- NotSarcasm, on 07/08/2009, -0/+1This isn't even close to some of this ***** I've read on 4chan
- tconnect80, on 07/08/2009, -1/+2You know what's depressing? The rampant use of preposterous metaphors/similes like the one in this description. It's getting out of ***** control
- KarateMedia, on 07/08/2009, -0/+1I get the feeling that Sarge later walked into the bathroom and pulled a Private Pyle.
- timmyn128, on 07/08/2009, -1/+2This article actually made me laugh out loud, am I a sick individual?
- Elranzer, on 07/08/2009, -0/+1Of course, the world's most depressing and suicidal comic strip of all time is Garfield Minus Garfield...
http://garfieldminusgarfield.net - yoshiboy, on 07/08/2009, -2/+3I used to read Garfield and then cut myself.
But that was a long time ago, and for the life of me, I don't know anyone that reads newspapers. - Elranzer, on 07/08/2009, -0/+1I have only ever liked Garfield, Calvin & Hobbes and The Far Side. And two of the three are now out of print.
Yet Cathy is still being made. - themastersb, on 07/08/2009, -0/+1Ziggy was interesting. Each week I awaited in anticipation to see if he would ever win...
- 13373h4X0r, on 07/08/2009, -3/+2Every "Small Society" comic strip ever...
Or "Marmaduke"... Take your pick!
LOL...Just kidding about "Marmaduke"...
/or am I? (♩♩*dunh-dunh-dunhhhhh!!!*♩♩) - Alphabet, on 07/08/2009, -6/+4I'm surprised this Calvin and Hobbes strip wasn't in there.

I guess it's not suicidal or depressing enough. - inactive, on 07/08/2009, -4/+0It *IS* funny when it's about rape. What insight!
- inactive, on 07/08/2009, -10/+3I know that this is generally frowned upon, but I think that if you like these type of comics, you will likely enjoy my friend's web comic: http://www.murraythenut.com/
