We initially believed that we had misplaced the July 19th Sunday comics section of "The Sun News" in Myrtle Beach, SC, when we found it as it was an archeological stone from ancient Egypt!
Our favorite comic from the newspaper is "Dustin," in which a young adult son walks by his whimsical mom with an overloaded laundry basket.
The second-place strip is "Off the Mark" in which a museum patron is listening to head phones with info on the art who stumbles upon a blank wall with a large hang nail which indicates that a painting, perhaps as prestigious as Edvard Munch's "The Scream" (pict. center). Munch's masterpiece was actually stolen from a museum in his native Norway.
Third place goes to "Ziggy," not to be confused with "Zippy the Pinhead" by Bill Griffith, which today made fun of Mike Huckabee (we're still laughing over that one). Ziggy makes fun of a landmark once featured in a Woody Woodpecker cartoon, that is Niagara Falls, which borders both the United States and Canada. In "Ziggy," the title character is talking to his pooch when he realizes that it is time to use the bathroom!
We have decided to arbitrarily put "Hagar the Horrible" in the tenth position as a running gag.
Here is the top ten:
1) Dustin
2) Off the Mark
3) Ziggy
4) Stone Soup
5) Doonesbury
6) Garfield
7) Dilbert
8) Blondie
9) Curtis
10) Hagar the Horrible

Quote of the Day- Edvard Munch
I suppose even if one flunked an art appreciation class in college (I made a "B" actually, but I did have a hard time with softball), they know that the painter who painted this work "The Scream" is the Norwegian cultural icon Edvard Munch, but I suppose it bears repeating here.
And, with that, here is our quote from Munch:
"A person himself believes that all the other portraits are of good likeness, except the one of himself."
