Cheech Wizard is actually from a rather different category of comic strip to those others...he is from the "freak" comics of the early 70's. Spaw just added him to bug me. ;-) He knows I hate Cheech Wizard. Truth be told, I detested most of the "freak" comics (specially anything by Crumb), but I did like the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers and Fat Freddy's Cat.

Dick Tracy was an interesting example from the classic era of comics...sort of creepy in some respects, but very memorable and unique.

Frank Cho did a hilarious parody of Mark Trail recently in the Liberty Meadows comics.
