Our Favorite Comic Strips from the Sunday Washignton Post: Tell Bezos We Like The Argyle Sweater

Two weeks ago, "The Washington Post" unveiled a new look, the newspaper's first since amazon.com billionaire Jeff Bezos took over ownership of one of America's most highly-regarded publications, in its Sunday paper, but surprisingly enough no comic strips were dumped or added.

Editorial Comment: We were kind of hoping "Bleeker" or "The Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee" would replace "Beetle Bailey" and "Hagar the Horrible," but we imagine Bezos doesn't read this or any other blog.

We actually didn't get last Sunday's "Washington Post," but we really enjoyed this week's comics page, which included Catzilla taking over Disneyland in "The Argyle Sweater," a dinosaur footprint in "WUMO" which is not something one wants to find on a desert island, and "Lio" encountering a merchant who actually ventriloquist dummies. I guess there are such places.

NOTE: Last week, we were hoping to post our top ten favorite comic strips from the Kings Features web site, on April 13th we will include that survey after the end of this one.

1. "The Argyle Sweater"
