Dilbert, Rex Morgan MD, Kit Walker (The Phantom), and I can't think of any others because I haven't read newspaper comics in quite some time.

Foxtrot.

I don't find this comic at odds with Men's Rights at all. It's known that young boys are more likely to learn by play and have trouble setting down to do homework. It's one of the reasons the modern school system has become toxic for many boys. I don't think the comic suggests the boy is dumb, he's doing amazing stuff there, he's just not interested in doing worksheets.

Isn't the author of those comics a huge racist/sexist? I think this may be overreacting...

Calvin and Hobbes.

Jason Fox...

Seriously, I love this sub, but this guy's overreacting.

Who cares nobody reads them except my grandma.

Maybe the joke is that boys don't like to do their homework, but when that homework is given to them by the female chauvinists that are most teachers these days...

What about this one?

how did this one comic strip end up happening to be about all men in general? it clearly says nothing about interpretations to the 16th amendment to the constitution. The federal courts interpretations of the Sixteenth Amendment have changed considerably over time and there have been many disputes about the applicability of the amendment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

I think you're just out to ruin my day because you can relate more to other females but ended up in an area for males (they use different restrooms). or you're just angry because you used up all your make up and you have to hurt us because we don't spend on it.

and if you think it's not about my 16th amendment rights. if you're ARE in fact a female, most females come to men's rights reddits to impede on our rights. yes? in some way or another.

lest we forget the $10 additional fee. here remember this?: http://imgur.com/rfYtcyI Found a Gym near me charging men £10 more than women . ~~Seems fair .~~

you're not required to make our lives more expensive just for the sake of giving men a harder time. the majority of the uploaders seem to think that's what this reddit is for. or men just don't have the time to upload these issues or make them so public.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Married_and_maiden_names#Feminism_and_preserving_one.27s_personal_name Jane Grant, of the United States, wrote in 1943 of her efforts to keep her name despite her marriage, as well as other women's experiences with military service, passports, voting, and business. She and others formed the Lucy Stone League, named for Lucy Stone, who had earlier won her fight to keep her name. "We [in the League] . . . made ourselves generally troublesome", with legal cases, mass meetings, signing into hotels openly, and going to Washington, D.C.[34]

wikipedia obviously is not female.

That's kind of the whole point of the comic, though. It plays on the "angel girl, devil boy" tropes, which aren't necessarily sexist, but illustrate how kids generally tend to be.

The father in the comic, Daryl, isn't a dumb male though. I wouldn't say he's smart necessarily (he's sort of average), but all that matters is that he's a successful adult who loves his family.
