Growing up, we had collected volumes of Calvin and Hobbes, Garfield, and The Boondocks. Surprisingly good bedfellows. Covered the bases, so to speak.

I also tend to associate "Bloom County" with "Calvin and Hobbes". I think I was reading both of them around the same time.

Same here, though I started bloom county a lot later. Almost all of my 80s cultural knowledge stems from that comic haha…

The Boondocks is probably the most witty cartoon ever made. It still holds up because we've largely not advanced as a society

I break out Black Power Revolutionary Jar Jar Binks whenever possible.

I'm sad that whatever went on with McGruder and the media gatekeepers prevented him from Schultzing it up through to the present day. We need him.
