Emlah -- I think that you are right.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I didn't do a deep search into google, but I found this: [link]
in which she does not say that she is currently writing 6 (as of March), but it's rather implicit, I think. I'll see if I can find something more concrete.
I found a better one. from August
Out of all your books, which one is your favourite?
It varies. I would have to say that it is probably Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, although at the moment—it is unfair of me to say it—Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is my favourite book. Sorry. I am the only one who has read it and I think it is rather good. I am normally like this when I write a book. Usually when I am just over halfway I normally love it, but by the time I finish it I completely despise it and think it is worthless rubbish. At the moment, I really like how the sixth book is going. A lot happens in the sixth book and a lot of questions are answered. I really have a sense that we are nearly there and it is time for answers, not more questions and clues, although obviously there are a few clues as I am not quite finished yet. I hope that that is sufficiently frustrating for you, knowing that you can’t read it yet!

Up with the sun
Sadly, they retained "Pearls Before Swine", which is badly drawn, stupid, and offensive altogether.
I adore Pearls. Yes, it's badly drawn, but it's consistently funny and I like Pastis' eye for the meta, though he can go a little overboard with it.
Love in C&H and even like For Better or Worse a great deal
I like FBoFW because I've been following the characters for forever, so (corniness, here) I feel like I know them, and I like that they're Canadian.
I also really like Rhymes with Orange (another ugly-but-brilliant comic), Zits and Get Fuzzy.
Hate Baldo, for reasons similar to what Hec is describing about Clear Water -- it's all well-intentioned liberal. The fact the characters are Hispanic does not make up for the content being horrible. Oh, and Red & Rover is the lamest thing in lamedom.

thumbs up Though I don't think it's that ugly.
Zits

and Get Fuzzy.
Probably my current favorite. Though it has not elevated to all-time classic status as yet.
Dang, I remember when you could count on Calvin and Hobbes, Far Side and Bloom County every day. We thought it would last forever. sniff t /geezer

Many thanks sumi and DebetEsse. That second link is exactly the kind of thing I was trying to find.

Not yet a classic? You may be dead to me.

Hey, I don't put just anybody up there with Krazy Kat and Pogo. They've got to earn it over a few years. My comic strip hall of fame standards are only exceeded by that of the LPGA.
