I haven't read very much Calvin & Hobbes because I'm not really into comics, but I've heard it's awesome. Some of the few books I've seen/read/seen pictures of look kinda funny.

That's like saying "I'm not into movies," or "I'm not into books." You honestly dislike the specific medium of comics? This includes manga, political cartoons, newspaper comics, graphic novels, and more.
I know I'll catch flack for this, but y'know what? Cathy > Garfield. At least Cathy eventually got married. Garfield has never, ever changed as a character. Ever.
EDIT: How do people feel about The Far Side? I remember really liking it when I was younger, but my love for it has sort of been dwindling lately.

The Far Side was funny before we had the Internet. It was novel at the time: it was one of the first really mainstream "out there" comics. Now, without the novelty of being something fresh, it's about the level of an average webcomic.

Honestly it's not that rare for people to dislike entire mediums. Most high school kids dislike the entire book medium (god damn, it makes me rage when I see so many "don't give a fuck" entries for the "books" section in facebook. I mean, my section isn't large...but I at least give a fuck).
Personally, I'm not a big movie fan. A large majority of the time I find my self unable to sit through a 2-3 hour movie because it's boring or dragged out. About the only times I'll ever sit through an entire movie are when I go to a theater (which is only when people ask me to go, typically) or if it's really good. I have a few friends who are exactly like that, too.

That doesn't excuse it.

I would argue that only the uninspired, unintellectual, or otherwise troubled ones did so. I have never in my life met anyone I would consider successful or consisting of worthwhile company who did not enjoy to read.

Wow. You're either watching only terrible movies, or you have no actual attention span to speak of.

It's somewhere in between. Personally I just think that 99% of the time I have a lot better stuff to do with 1.5-3 hours of my time than sit in front of the TV or computer watching a movie.

Well, it really just depends. I was talking about the (mostly fiction) book medium. Just because someone doesn't enjoy that, doesn't mean they don't like reading other things.

My wife is the later. She has mild ADD and finds it very difficult to turn her attention on a movie -- or anything else -- for much more than 30 minutes at a time. This is why we do not go to the cinema very often, and why I watch a significant number of rentals alone.
She still loves to read, BTW. She devours books in half-hour increments, finishing about one a week. I marathon about a book a week in a few sittings, then cool for a few days until I pick up another one.

The other two are Dilbert and Pearls Before Swine.
If you disagree, you are wrong.
Well, actually:
every other comic in existence > Garfield
Also, Boondocks > all as far as newspaper comics go. I also like the 1 panel ones like speed bump and whatnot.

Edit - rephrased because it sounded odd when I read it back.
