I will admit I hear that "complement" less and less these days.

Been Around Awhile
Used to get the Stars and Stripes while living in Germany in the 80's. Calvin & Hobbes, Doonesbury, and The Far Side were all on the same page of the comics. Made reading everything that was worth reading in the S&S a quick easy read and worth the nickel or quarter or whatever it cost.

The holy trinity of comic strips from that newspaper era were Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County and The Far Side.
