What’s the best comic ever?

There are lots of ways to answer that question. What comic strip do you read every day? What comic do you remember most as a kid? The way I look it, the best comic is the one that survives the longest on your fridge. By that logic, this is the best comic ever:

This comic has a long history on our fridge. I think that it actually started out clipped from a newspaper and pinned up in my office cubicle. Eventually it got photocopied and enlarged and found its way home and onto the fridge of our first house in Cold Lake – probably around 1990. Due to a pretty complete lack of interest in taking photos of the fridge, particularly in the days before digital photography, it’s pretty hard to come up with exact dates. However, in this picture, taken on my birthday in 1991, you can see the comic displayed prominently:

Even today, that same comic is on our fridge – not quite so prominently, but still there making us smile after more that a quarter of a century. It’s a bit dog-eared and stained, but retains it’s place as probably the best comic ever.
