filkertomThere are a few comics that I peruse not because I necessarily find them funny all the time, but for various, personal reasons. I remember with great fondness the one funny Lockhorns cartoon ever: Xena, Warrior Princess, is at the door, with some books under her arm, and Loretta turns to Leroy and asks, "Did you order anything from Amazon.com?"
Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy is one of the least funny strips of all time... but my dad had a Big Little Book of a lot of strips (that in itself should tell you how antideluvian it is), and I got it stuck in my head when I was a kid.
The last umpety-ump years, the strip has been done by Guy and Brad Gilchrist, and they have brought it up-to-date. And, while no one will mistake it for comic genius, every once in awhile they even beat everyone else to the punch line:
Any underrated, underexposed, or surprising-that-you-find-them-funny comics out there that we should know about?
