No matter is it american, european, japanese, korean, chinese, australian. Tell us what comic do you like the most. It can be daily magazine strip comic, a one that's sell only as pocketbook volumes in magazine stores or it can be www comic (like MegaTokyo).

I have couple of favourites;

Peanuts. Everybody knows this one. Charlie Brown, Snoopy and friends with their unique "adultish" child philosophy and insider things like "you never get to kick ball" and Giant Pumpkin.
Charles M. Schwultz (sp?), the creator of Peanuts died couple of years ago, so there's not coming new strips but good old ones re-run in newspapers all over the world.

Another one I like is BabyBlues, comic that shows daily life of American mid-30's couple that has 3 kids who are definetly most energetic, say-wise and creative children I have ever seen in comic (Calvin & Hobbes is nothing compared to typhoon trio of Zoe, Hammie and Wren McPherson!). This is also popular comic around the world and is published in newspapers in many countries.
I have laughed many of the most "sweet" laughs of my life reding BabyBlues comic.

Then there is Finnish mega-popular (mostly in Finland and some European countries) daily strip comic Viivi & Wagner, somewhat surrealistic product of Finnish comic artist who calls himself "Juba".
Viivi is ordinary lady in her mid 20's who studies in university, and Wagner is pig. He sure walks on 2 legs and talks, but he still considers himself pig and lives kinda "piggy" life.
Viivi and Wagner live together, thou they aren't married (which is common misunderstandment along V&W readers), and Viivi & Wagner actually shows us how women sometimes see men as "pigs" who just lay on cough and drink beer.
Wagner has often really visionary ideas (and Viivi needs to drag him down from his "cloud castles") and starts new hobbies (like collecting stamps or reading through A-to-Z dictionary bookset) but then forgets them.
I've got many good laughs with V&W also.

Archie & Friends.
I would buy them more often but they're just too expensive. So I treat myself to one about once a month. Hehe.. such crazy hijinks and troublesome acts those kids get into.

I've always been a big The Far Side fan. They're essentially single frame non-sequitor comics that take a sometimes take a second to realize the joke, but when you get it, it's often hilarious.

For web comics, I'm a fan of Order of the Stick by Rich Burlew because I'm a d&d nerd. There's lots of inside gamer jokes.

The Peanuts is awesome and the Far Side is pretty good too.

I enjoy Dilbert - computer humor always cracks me up.

And I've always really liked The Family Circus.

I work in a comic book shop so serialized graphic fiction is my business!

My favourite ongoing North American-style comic book is... oh gosh, that is so hard to choose! It's a toss-up between Kabuki by David Mack and Y the Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan. But a very close runner-up is Fables by Bill Willingham. And Desloation Jones by Warren Ellis. And Birds of Prey by Gail Simone.

As for comics that are finished and no new ones are coming out, of course Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis. I adore Warren Ellis so very very much.

I also read Megatokyo, but my favourite webcomic is definitely Sinfest (http://www.sinfest.net/). Tatsuya Ishida is a genius as far as I'm concerned.

I love comics!

I haven't played D&D but I read fantasy fiction and have played Warhammer FB and many kinds of console RPGs, and I get most of the jokes in Order of the Stick. Boy I laughed a lot when reading it yesterevening xD
