The new medium for the strip is up to you: newspaper, book series, online, etc. You want Dream of the Rarebit Fiend on Tumblr? Sure, the universe grants your wish.

Calvin and Hobbes. One of my prized possessions is the complete collection in hard cover.

Bloom County, no doubt. I'd kill to see how he satirizes today's politics and society. Smartest strip ever.

If you want to know what the 80's were like, Bloom County was it.

Berkeley brought it back! Though it's on Facebook, unfortunately.

Pictures For Sad Children. Bone-dry humor through magical realism and millennial depression that disappeared after the creator overpromised on a book Kickstarter, had a nervous breakdown, and came out as transgender, not necessarily in that order.

Which would all be well and good if she didn't viciously censor any effort to preserve and maintain the comic. Fuck anyone pulling that shit - especially the artist.

An amazing comic that ended too soon was CulDeSac. So, i think more would've been awesome.
