But Dan Walters rips Gray Davis repeatedly in an even more prominent place than the editorial page. Never underestimate the power of the funny pages. Cathy annoys me but in an interesting way that I'd miss if she was gone. Sylvia always makes me think and always makes me smile. Zits is occasionally beyond superb and always at least brilliant, Foxtrot always amusing and fun.
Peanuts is pathetic but untouchable.
Crankshaft is crusty and adorable and sometimes very touching. Boondocks is becoming one of my top five favorites. That strip addresses issues of race in a way that makes me realize how different the black experience is in this country and how much we need its perspective. The biting criticism of the outsider is the matrix which forms public discourse. At the same time Jumpstart helps me build a consciousness of the sameness and normality of the black experience.
