The first frame of this looks a *lot* like early Feiffer. It also presents a very early-Feiffer-like situation -- attempting to pick up or chat with a woman at a bar or club. To be sure, the guy found his own voice... but it's interesting to see that early influence coming through.

I don't feel like digging any of it up to post here, but Feiffer did some great work, perhaps especially his 50s-60s stuff before he became kind of obsessively political.

My pet theory is that we're becoming more misanthropic the more services we can receive without leaving our homes or talking to another human. In the past only the very wealthy had large houses with unused bedrooms, and they had live-in servants and frequent guests. Now we demand whole rooms to store exercise equipment and home theaters, and few of us tolerate strangers staying overnight.

I like this one I found on twitter. It's new and isn't anywhere near as exhausted as these old boomer/gen-x comics. The Far Side is really the only old comic that maintains genius-tier gaffs, doesn't rely on pseudy verbosity, and hasn't got the barrier to entry that comes with a Garfield or the like.

The incongruity is to be found between the simply ridiculous number of cats attacking Mr. Sunday and his sly assertion that he escaped from them by some act of cunning. The artist goes for something like the moomins in terms of tone: there isn't a structured joke in every strip, but I think it has a very cozy and convivial vibe.

The reader is presented here not with any clever phrase or joke, but rather ruminations on Calvin's youth and imagination. That's the draw for the people who posted them.
Adults who want to hear kid stuff explained in an intelligent, ironic sort of way because mentally they're still stewing over those childish notions themselves.
It's similar to the millennials who still read young adult literature; they identify too much with that period of their life.

I was a little surprised with Dilbert. I used to have a book of collected comics of his that had plenty of great ones in it, but when I started my new job and someone had one of those calendars that you tear off a new page every day with a Dilbert comic on it, I realized the book I had was probably his best ones collected together, even though the book was printed in 95 or so. A lot of these newer ones just aren't that funny, just cynical in a very typical office sort of way.

8BT lacks any of the nuance or cleverness that a lot of comics I like have, but I still think it's amazing how the author can still make me laugh with the humor equivalent of a blunt instrument. Most other comics of its type I've read really just fall flat, so it's surprising when one actually works.

Watterson quit before the inevitable slide into mediocrity that occurs if a strip presses on for decade after decade. He may be singular in that decision.

It's funny, because back in the 90s the joke was about how everyone was insisting on how important 'self-esteem' was; the concept of victimhood as denoting some kind of special status was virtually non-existent. Fast forward a quarter century, and all we hear about is victimhood as an inherent part of racial identity, and few people talk about self-esteem anymore.

But you are absolutely right - Watterson was way ahead of his time here.

And of course having a sentimental final strip isn't unreasonable, what's telling is that that strip in particular was selected by an anon to be posted here exactly because it is sentimental.
