   Looking for recommendations for a daily comic.   
      
   At gocomics.com, I do   
     - Calvin and Hobbes   
     - Pickles   
     - The Argyle Sweater   
     - Pearls Before Swine   
     - Rose Is Rose   
     - Phoebe and Her Unicorn   
     - Get Fuzzy   
      
   At least 4 of those are in perpetual reruns.   
      
   I'm thinking of rejoining Frazz; is that still getting new strips?   
   What about Over The Hedge?  Frank and Ernest is okay, usually.  I   
   burned out over Dilbert before the author became controversial, and I   
   only miss Shoe occasionally.  Broomhilda?   
      
   What are your recommendations?   
      
   For web comics, of course there is XKCD, which still has 3 new posts a   
   week, and Girl Genius.  (I'm not sure how I got to that one, but I did   
   10 years of catching up in about 3 weeks, and am now reduced to waiting   
   for the 3-a-week.  I actually wait till Friday so I can read three   
   posts at a time, which helps with the story-telling).   
      
   I remember Greg had a favorite featuring a fox and a hare as a married   
   couple in a forest community, but I haven't tracked down the correct   
   name of that one.   
      
   Mr Nebus would sometimes comment here on strips with math, but I think   
   his blog has been idle for a while.   
      
   Back when I got print nuzpaipurs, the comics page was part of the   
   reason.  But when it's 30 years since you chose your favorites ....
