Am I the only one who never found C&H humorous? I loved comic strips as both a child and adult. Garfield, Far Side, Bloom County. I just never thought C&H was that funny.

I'm disappointed that some one answered "no" and added nothing to the discussion and got a 0, at the same time someone else answered "yes" and added nothing to the discussion and got 27 (as of now). I agree with the yes fellow, but it still added nothing. If you didn't think it was funny, why? If you did why ? Otherwise its just a poll then, isn't it?

Yes, see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=613071, especially gojomo's comment.

I thought you were going to say something about how C&H made more insightful comments than jokes, but then you praised Garfield. Not to jump on the Garfield-hating bandwagon, but it isn't really in the same category.

"Garfield, Far Side, ..."

That juxtaposition is freaking me out.

There's a head asplodin' just waiting to happen.

Far Side is funnier, but C&H is pretty damn funny too.
