It's been real busy with the High Holidays here (otherwise known as Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur). So, I'll just keep it short...

25 years ago, it was Doonesbury...

20 years ago, it was Bloom County...

15 years ago, it was Calvin & Hobbes...

10 years ago, it was Dilbert...

5 years ago, it was Sherman's Lagoon...

and today, the unquestioned leader in the comics pages (as far as I'm concerned) is...

Pearls Before Swine.

Pearls offers the simplicity of B.C. mixed with the biting sarcasm of Bloom County and the sadistic approach of the Far Side.

Never has something so simple been so gosh darn enjoyable.
