  Guess I should elaborate.  : )

   Batman: TAS, Superman Adventures, Batman Beyond, and now Justice League have
set new animation standards for the US.  The "Superfriends" have been left in
the dust!

>- Lynn Johnston

   IIRC, she was the first to do the "aging thing" in comics.  Readers grew up
with the characters, part of an excellent depiction of a North American family.
(could you ever tell it's set in Canada?)

>- Garry B. Trudeau

   Whatever your politics, he's done a great depiction of changes in American
society and culture since 1970, all in comic strip form.  I dare call him the
Mark Twain of our time.

>- Jim Borgman

  I may not agree with his politics, but he's an incredible artist, in both his
editorial cartoon, and in Zits.

>- Gary Larson

  "The Far Side."  'Nuff said . . . (It, Bloom County, and Calvin and Hobbes
formed the Holy Triumvirate of 80s comics)

>- Wiley Miller

   Carries The Far Side's single panel legacy, with a great deal of bite. 
Great, and definately unique drawing style . . .

>- Bill Amend

  I love the art style of Fox Trot; and how can I *not* like the ultimate geek
comic?!  (at least printed on newspapers; Dilbert just doesn't go that far)

>- David Willis

   IMHO, It's Walky is the best comic on the web . . .

>- "Quino"

   Many (North) Americans have probably never heard of Mafalda, but it may be
second only to Peanuts as the most popular comic in the world.  Run 1964-1974,
this Argentinian gem gave many Latin Americans the ultimate view of their
situation . . .
