1. I'm a fan of xkcd
http://xkcd.com/

For traditional comics that appeared in newspapers I would go with Farside.

19. Ditto that.
Although for me, it'd be a toss-up for print comics between Farside, Dilbert, and Calvin and Hobbes... :)

2. "Krazy Kat" - one of the greatest comic strips ever, from the early 20th century.
Edited on Wed Dec-26-07 07:38 AM by Perry Logan

Created by George Herriman...appeared in U.S. newspapers between 1913 and 1944. It was first published in William Randolph Hearst's New York Evening Journal, and Hearst was a major booster for the strip throughout its run.

Set in a dreamlike portrayal of Herriman's vacation home of Coconino County, Arizona, Krazy Kat's mixture of surrealism, innocent playfulness, and poetic language have made it a favorite of comics aficionados and art critics for more than eighty years

It's a toss up between "Baby Blues" and "Jump Start".

46. Been a fan of "Dykes to Watch Out For" since high school...
I keep hoping that Alison Bechdel will do an appearance at WVU... or at least at Pitt.
