Does anyone read these two strips? "Prince Valiant" Or "Dick Tracy" I like my comics but to me these are wasted paper. Anyone?????

jk, probably not many get a printed newspaper any longer. I finally (after having a paper delivered most of my life) had to give it up when it was sold off to a cheapo outfit and the quality went to heck.

I haven't seen Sunday comics in years.

I haven't had a newspaper in a great many years. Both those comics were in it then and they both sucked. I think they are only there because of nostalgia from when there was nothing better.

There hasn’t been a good newspaper comic strip since Calvin and Hobbes in my opinion.

I read them both. Prince Valient to me is better than all the other comics. Don't particularly like Family Circus or Marmaduke.

Calvin and Hobbes was awesome

We still get two newspapers in my area. The Buffalo newspapers and the Evening Observer out of Dunkirk. And a third in my county from Jamestown that I don't get

I used to love reading them when I was a kid back in the 60's and 70's. Beetle Bailey, Dick Tracy, Rick O'shea, Hagar the Horrible, and Charlie Brown to name a few favorites. I haven't read a newspaper in decades.


Eh...wot?

Add Far Side into the mix too with Calvin & Hobbes.

Marmaduke has gotten very sloppy. Bad artwork
Plus it just isn’t funny anymore

Beetle Bailey, Dennis the Menace, Hagar the Horrible, Dagwood, Garfield, Marmaduke, Charlie Brown, Calvin & Hobbes, and the Far Side are some of the ones I remember reading. Those were the better ones that I can think of. The last time I seen comics was years ago.

I got rid of our local paper after many years as a subscriber. The one outdoor page in sports section of the Sunday addition. Went from being a page about hunting or fishing what every season it was. To biking and birding and kayaking and hunting and fishing type stuff faded to less and less.
As for comics I never understood why Prince Valiant and Dick Tracy were even in comic section?
I like Calvin and Hobs, Bloom County, and Farside when it was in there. The Denis the Menic got to repetitive.
