Comics

Alley Oop
Alley Oop, created in 1933 by V.T. Hamlin, is written by Dave Graue and drawn by Jack Bender. The classic caveman comic strip is syndicated worldwide by Newspaper Enterprise Association.

Arlo & Janis
Created by Jimmy Johnson, Arlo & Janis are a couple of '60s kids trying to raise a son in the '90s.

Betty
Gary Delainey writes and Gerry Rasmussen draws Betty, a smart, savvy comic character who is unapologetically ordinary, happy and female. Betty is a woman of the 90's -- a wife, a mother and a working woman.

Big Nate
Creator Lincoln Peirce portrays Nate Wright, an aspiring cartoonist and energetic sixth grader, in his relationships with teachers, classmates and his family.

Bizarro
Created by Dan Piraro, this hilariously witty strip deals with the real and the unreal, the comical and the controversial, in situations that capture the inexplicably humorous side of life.

The Buckets
Created by Scott Stantis, The Buckets has evolved into one of the most realistic depictions of modern family life in the comics, striking a chord with parents who juggle the demands and the mild insanity of raising a family in the '90s.

Calvin and Hobbes
Bill Watterson's classic lives on in reruns on the web.

Cathy
Cathy Guisewite's character is An Everywoman who experiences frustrations on the job, in her love life, and with her aging parents in much the same way as her real-life counterparts.

Committed
Committed is an irreverent comic panel about modern family life when both parents work, kids rule and the house is an absolute mess. Created by Michael Fry.

Dilbert
Created by Scott Adams, Dilbert stars a "socially challenged" engineer and his sarcastic dog, Dogbert, whose true calling is to rule the world, since he believes people are basically too stupid to stop him.

Doctor Fun
Doctor Fun is a single-panel cartoon distributed every weekday over the Internet. Created by David Farley.

Drabble
Kevin Fagan created Drabble while he was in college. Fagan describes Norman Drabble as an adolescent mix of Dagwood Bumstead and Charlie Brown.

Frumpy the Clown
Created by Judd Winick. Frumpy IS a clown. That's not his job, that's what he is. He lives with the Braggs: Mike and Mona, and their two children Brad and Kim. He is their boarder, a playmate, a nanny, a buddy, and he drinks way too much coffee. He rides a Harley, teaches second grade at a public school, and is banned from Sizzler restaurants nationally. He now lives in suburbia and, as usual, isn't too happy about it.

Garfield
Jim Davis' lovable fat cat has an extensive web site of comics and many other fun and interesting pursuits.

Jump Start
Robb Armstrong's Jump Start offers an authentic, positive representation of middle-class African Americans with charm and insight born of personal experience.

Luann
Luann is an exciting comic strip created by Greg Evans that chronicles the joyful discoveries and torturous experiences of adolescence.

Monty
Monty is out of this world. This quirky comic strip created by Jim Meddick spoofs suburbia, trashes tacky TV shows and takes a loony look at earthly trends.

Mother Goose and Grimm
Mike Peter's long-running wacky adventures of Mother Goose and her dog Grimmy.

NandO's Comics Page
Featuring Dick Tracy, Orphan Annie, Brenda Starr, Heathcliff, Gasoline Alley, and others.

Over the Hedge
Michael Fry and T. Lewis' strip features a couple of boisterous "Boyz in the Wood" who don't take the encroachment of their habitat sitting down.

Peanuts
Charles M. Schulz created Peanuts, which was first syndicated Oct. 2, 1950. His creations are part of the American fabric. Shultz died Feb. 12, 2000, at 77. The Daily Collegian published the strip.

The Raunchy Roach Show
Butch Berry's irreverant outlook of the world through the eyes of a fat, green roach.

Reality Check
Reality Check is a glimpse at everyday life situations through cartoonist Dave Whamond's eyes -- a wacky vision of the world that exposes the hidden hilarity in ordinary circumstances.

Shoe
Jeff MacNelly's rumpled old newspaper editor is usually right on the mark with witty commentary on the world today, whether he's buried under a stack of papers on his desk or hanging out at the local pub.

Tarzan
The famous jungle man created by Edgar Rice Burroughs lives on through United Features Syndicate. UFS continues to syndicate Tarzan as newly-created Sunday comics and classic dailies. The Sunday strips have been drawn by Gray Morrow since 1983.
