Comics strips I read regularly

In The Telegraph, Kolkata:

• Blondie (in the Dean Young era)

• Hagar the Horrible (in the Chris Browne era)

• Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz

• Garfield by Jim Davis

• Dennis the Menace

• The Wizard of Id

• Ziggy (in the Tom Wilson II era)

• I read all Calvin and Hobbes (by Bill Watterson) chronologically through a set of illegally obtained digital images I acquired way back in 2005. The strip was published from 1985 to 1995, a much smaller run than the other ones, so one can actually read all of it over a small period of time. It is a pity that  I read Calvin and Hobbes through piracy given that Watterson went at great lengths to prevent greater commercialisation of his work. Sad and ironic. 

• Either The Statesman, Kolkata or The Telegraph used to publish Beetle Bailey at one point of time. I remember reading that regularly as well.

• I never read Henry in English as neither The Statesman  nor The Telegraph carried it when I read them but I read a Bengali translation of it called Gablu/ গাবলু which used to be published in Anandamela/ আনন্দমেলা. Wikipedia says that now it is no longer syndicated.
