Being an 80s kid (born in 79), I remember comic strips in the 80s being huge. Strips like Bloom County, Garfield (started in 78, but got really big in the 80), For Better or For Worse, Calvin and Hobbes, Mother Goose and Grimm, and The Far side were all huge strips.
The 90s were also big with Fox Trot (begain in 88, but it's popularity peaked by the 90s), Dilbert, Mutts, and Zits. And of course, there were all of the strips from decades past as well, some of which are inexplicably still being published. So when did their popularity end? I'd say after the debut of Boondocks in 1997, which was pretty much the last "big" strip to get attention, after that, most people moved on to webcomics. Agree or was the decline earlier?
