for about two months a local paper called The Focus ran a comic strip called Near The Airport that was like a weird ripoff of The Far Side.
The strips seemed to be trying to outdo their inspiration in strangeness, and in some cases they succeeded, but they weren't funny at all. I've never been able to actually find the comic anywhere else and the paper yanked it not long after they started running it (it was a collateral victim of them axing their comics section), and I always wondered what became of it.
Re: rappers: Not sure if I have a real "fave". I like what I've heard by Pusha T, but I dunno if it'd be enough to qualify him as my absolute favorite. Same sort of deal with J. Cole.
Unrelated: Ryn Weaver's debut album is really good, Pitchfork be damned.

Oddly enough, i first encountered the Perry Bible Fellowship in the Guardian before i knew it was a webcomic
i'm guessing the darkness and adult humour of PBF would be atypical if run in an American paper? Just going by the kinds of sentiments i see Americans expressing about the tone and content of newspaper comics.

most American newspaper comics are deliberately inoffensive, unless they're political cartoons.
Berkeley Breathed seems like he has the same problem as David Letterman, where he just kept going for way too long and got kinda dull, hence making it so people don't quite remember how good he used to be.
When I think of Dilbert, I think of how my dad used to like it until he realized that the stuff it portrays is actually pretty accurate. Then it just became depressing.

Calvin and Hobbes is one of my favorite comics of all time and defined a lot of my childhood.
Last summer I got the chance to see some of the original strips on display at The Ohio State University. It was really cool getting to see the original artwork of so many comics I was already familiar with. Here's some photos I took, if you're interested.
Dilbert is ok but Scott Adams is kind of an asshole, tbh.
TV Tropes says the shows have nothing in common, ignoring that both of them being produced by Columbia TriStar Television is very much something in common

ok but in terms of subject matter, tone, storytelling devices, things Tropers would actually care about?
If you added up all numbers together, the sum would be zero; because every number has its negative counterpart. The sum of all things is zero, and that's why we define numbers by how far away they are from zero and in what direction. If you multiplied all numbers except zero together, the answer would be either one or negative one, because every number X has a number 1/X. The multiplicand of all things sans zero is one/negative one, which is why we measure the distance from zero in terms of the unit one.Zero is the hub in the center of the wheel, the positive, negative, positive imaginary, negative imaginary, and all other progressions are spokes of the wheel, and numbers are points on those spokes. Infinity is the circle on the outside of the wheel. The positive progression (all the positive numbers) is less than infinity because it is a radius of the numeric circle, and a radius cannot be larger than the circumference. The combination of the positive and negative progressions is a diameter of the numeric circle, and thus less than the circle's circumference, infinity.Unlike an actual wheel, the spokes/progressions never reach the edge/infinity. You cannot reach infinity and you cannot get any closer to it. It is like the horizon, no matter how far you walk, you never get to it, but it's undeniably real. Thus, you cannot use infinity in normal mathematical equations, as that would be like asking how far away the horizon is from your house. You can't get any closer to the horizon, you can only get further away from your house.

Peanuts, Fox Trot, Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County, and The Far Side were all good.
Never as much as Peanuts, though.
That said it's possible i don't read newspaper comics often enough for them to feel stale to me.
Calvin and Hobbes is fun and i should read more of it some time.

That's... that's honestly pretty sad
