I'd agree with you on most of those "worthless" comics...but not necessarily Cathy. Why? Because it's a satire on the insecurities of modern women (primarily) and men (secondarily) and it pokes fun at many of the most ridiculous aspects of modern culture...such as rampant consumerism ("If I just buy enough stuff, then I'll be happy...") or fashion trends. As such, it has a lot to say. If you don't like it, it's merely because it has a style that doesn't appeal to you personally, but it's not devoid of real content.

The others? Yeah, they're useless. Mort Walker and Dick Browne are responsible for several lacklustre comics, like Hagar the Horrible, Beatle Bailey, Hi and Lois...all of which are not downright terrible (like Ziggy), but merely mediocre. Then there are the dreadful old chestnuts like Nancy...(its only redeeming feature is an occasional appearance by Aunt Fritzy)...or Henry! Man, talk about Baaaaad comics!

Get Fuzzy is a neat comic if you like clever use of the English language...the subtle approach to verbal combat. If you don't, I'd imagine its value is completely lost on you.

I agree that it doesn't nearly come up to the level of Walt Kelly's "Pogo" which was a brilliant comic in every way.
