What is, or maybe was, your favorite (syndicated) comic strip?

Someone asked a question about Boondocks, the animated series, but… it got me thinking… and while the pain has subsided over the years, it was a dark, dark day in my life when Gary Larson announced his retirement and I knew there would be no more Far Sides. And the three things that kept me sane during the GW Bush administration were The Daily Show, Doonesbury and Boondocks and then Aaron McGruder announced that he would stop drawing the strip and my sanity was like a chair with only two legs. I recovered, but still… do you have a favorite comic strip currently in the newspaper or online or do you miss one that is no longer around?
