Each comic strip that is famous and popular has a character that reaches out to millions of people. What are the top 10 best?
The Top Ten
1 Garfield (Garfield) Garfield is a comic strip cat, created by Jim Davis in 1978. Garfield is well-known in many countries and has appeared in over 2.500 newspapers. He has also had 2 live-action movies, 3 CGI-movies and two animated TV shows, Garfield and Friends (1988-1994) and The Garfield Show (2008-2014).

Garfield is a housecat, owned by the silly cartoonist Jon Arbuckle. Garfield is no ordinary housepet. He's lazy, egocentric and have an enormous appetite. And he does not want to chase or eat mice. He loves to pull pranks as well -and he absolutely loves to kick Jon's other pet Odie off the table. ...read more.

I LOVE Garfield! He is the most hilarious cartoon in the world! Sometimes I wish I had Garfield as my cat! I love how he kicks Odie! Just saying if you go tto the Garfield offical site, there is a game where you can kick Odie!

Garfield in his Garfield: The Movie movie appearance is one of the cutest cats ever!

P.S. As a real life sized costume, he is tall.

He's cool, I don't really think of him as fat, and that I saw two posters featuring him in my math class.

Well he must ROCK if you don't even have to say what strip he's from!

2 Odie (Garfield) Odie is a fictional dog who appears in the comic strip Garfield by Jim Davis. He has also appeared in the animated television series Garfield and Friends and The Garfield Show.

Most hilarious dog ever! Garfield is his best friend but in Garfield's point of view, they are the worst of enemies!

3 Jon Arbuckle (Garfield) Jonathan Quentin "Jon" Arbuckle is a fictional character from the Garfield comic strip by Jim Davis. He has also appeared in the animated television series Garfield and Friends, the computer-animated The Garfield Show, and two live-action/computer-animated feature films.

Nobody cares about jon, its all about garfield and odie.

He looks like a little boy.

4 Snoopy (Peanuts) Snoopy is a character in comic strip Peanuts. He first appears in the strip from October 4 1950. He often sleeps on the top of his dog house. He belongs to Charlie Brown. He was created by Charles M. Schulz. He also appears in all the specials and the 2015 Peanuts Movie.

Garfield's in the top ten but Snoopy isn't?
OHHH, there's about to be a beatdown here!
Should be simple, seeing as to how Snoopy's always dancing and playing baseball and doing all kinds of active activities while Garfield just lays around and does absolutely nothing!
Seriously! How does a cat, who does nothing but eat and sleep, get in the top ten, but Snoopy doesn't?

Snoopy has captured my heart for decades! He is the Number 1!

He's not even in the top ten? What's going on here?

Snoopy should be 1 or 2

5 Lieutenant Fuzz (Beetle Bailey)
6 Calvin (Calvin & Hobbes)

You can relate to Calvin like no other fictional character in any book or movie. He is subtly funny, yet at the same time expresses ideas much beyond his age. I can honestly say that Calvin has influenced me like nobody else.

Calvin is literally one of the main role models in my life. He is not afraid to speak his mind and stands up for what he believes is right. He has a pleothra of imagination and spunk. Who doesn't want to be an awesome 6-year old with a talking pet tiger?

Um, this doesn't make sense. How is Garfield number one when a comic strip relies solely on its character to be amazing? and if Calvin and Hobbes is considered the top comic strip of all time (because it is) Calvin atomicity wins. Sorry Kitty, time to step down.

He has the most outrageous ideas and reason which makes him hilarious. I love all his different alter egos, and how we get to see the world through his eyes. This comic has never failed to make me laugh.

7 Hobbes (Calvin & Hobbes) Hobbes is one of the two main characters in the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson. He is Calvin's stuffed tiger and best friend, being depicted with two distinct identities.

Calvin and Hobbes is the best comic strip out there by miles, and Hobbes is always basically the center of attention. And not in a bad way, because he earns that spotlight, and keeps proving he deserves it time and time again.

He is so memorable & makes a great tuba player.

He could sound like Benatar in the Y.F.M.T.S. episodes. of Your Favorite Martian by being voiced by Ray William Johnson.

I think Hobbes should be ahead of Calvin. I think Hobbes is much funnier and his animal jokes are the best!

I loved what he did to Calvin on page 83 of Calvin & Hobbes.

8 Beetle Baily (Beetle Baily)
9 Charlie Brown (Peanuts)

I wish he could win for once, he's been through enough.

10 Dagwood (Blondie)
The Contenders
11 Jason Fox (Foxtrot)

Lots of great characters but I'm voting Jason just because he deserves to be higher!

As much as I love Hobbes, This should be number one, not ten. I mean, Garfield?!?!? Really?

Jason is interesting I don't know how to explain him.

He's so hilarious and awesome!

12 Rat (Pearls Before Swine)

Machiavellian, dark, theatrical, short fuse, subtly homophobic; we can all relate to Rat and his unwillingness to cast his Pearls before Swine.

Rat is awesome!

13 Dilbert (Dilbert)
14 Liz Wilson (Garfield)
15 Nate Wright (Big Nate) The Big Nate comic strip's main character. Nate is 11 years old, he is an aspiring cartoonist, drummer, underachiever, and plays funny yet overdone pranks on Prank Day (the last day or 2nd last day of school). He is somewhat self-absorbed, believing himself to be irresistible to women despite repeated rejection, a brilliant sports player despite his poor performance, and a genius despite his poor grades. He spends much of his time in detention, in the art room drawing comics, or playing drums for his band, Enslave the Mollusk, which also comprises his friends Francis and Teddy. He is desperate to own a dog, and loves Cheez Doodles, his favorite snack, with a passion. He is additionally terrified ...read more.

Should be higher @#$%

I love big nate

16 Arlene (Garfield) Arlene is Garfield's girlfriend. She is a pink, slim, beautiful stray cat with big red lips. Arlene and Garfield doesn't always get along, but she knows that he cares about her. And she cares about him as well. ...read more.
17 Crocodiles (Pearls Before Swine)

The crocodiles are very very funny I can't even tell you how great they are.

18 Linus (Peanuts)

I felt really bad for him in the Great Pumpkin special.

19 Archie Andrews (Archie)

An icon! However, I hate Riverdale, and prefer the Filmation and DIC versions.

20 Dennis (Dennis the Menace)

Yes Dennis The Menace from the Beano is funny, cool, epic and a good Comic Character.

I like both versions! They both have their own charm, and why can't we just like both?

21 Bucky (Get Fuzzy)
22 Francis Pope (Big Nate)

Smart and funny

23 Teddy Ortiz (Big Nate)

Good sense of humor

24 Lucy (Peanuts)
25 Schroeder (Peanuts)
