| Older teen nephew loves these two comics. Also likes Zits but prefers the humor in C&H and Pearls. Looking for ideas for a new comic strip series (published in book form) that would appeal to him. Thanks. |

It's old, but, The Far Side.
Also, Richard Thompson's Cul de Sac, set in the DC area https://www.gocomics.com/culdesac/2007/09/10 |

Bloom County, of course. Or just the books about Opus.
Maybe Doonesbury although the political commentary now would be dated. |

+1, the Hell series, Calvin and Hobbes and the Far Side are all classics. I would have put Dilbert in the same category before Scott Adams lost his mind |

We have many of the Pearls Before Swine books - if you are purchasing keep an eye if you are buying the Treasury as there are overlaps in content. (I assume you know that)
There is a wiki page that shows it. |

| My 12yo loves Doonesbury from the 70s and doesn’t get a lot of the political stuff. |

Thanks from OP. These are all great recs, and nephew has enjoyed many of these listed through the years.
The one new to me (and my sister/his mom) is Life of Hell by Matt Groening. he loves the Simpsons so that one could be a hit - thank you! |
