I love Calvin and Hobbes, but it doesn't deserve to be on this list. If anything gibe it an honorary award as such. Same goes for Bone. (Funny enough, I first read it in competing magazine Disney Adventures. I believe Heidi here was responsible for that.) And.. Garfield? Really? At least Fox Trot's still doing new Sunday strips. I know, it's Nickelodeon Magazine, which somehow has been shorted to Nick Mag since I read it back in the day. (Wow. Are our attention spans that bad now?) Ugh. A million other nitpicks. The comic book series listing is just so damn generic. Batman? Star Wars? Archie? Those aren't series, they're general franchises. And yeah, that dig against people and ethnicities with back hair did feel pretty insulting. Bad enough Hugh Jackman's so hairless in the movies. Stupid sexy Hugh Jackman. Can they be more random?
