Among people of a certain age who actually read comic strips, it's Calvin and Hobbes. Snoopy and Garfield are more well known through other media. If Calvin and Hobbes didn't end 30 years ago and was still ongoing today (and if Watterson wasn't absolutely averse to commercializing his work), I think it'd be up there with them.
Sure. That's actually not what that means at all though.
- The subpopulation you're talking about is a very small portion of the population of the world at large.
- Those people of a certain age who actually read comic strips still know Snoopy and Garfield (and I'd argue those people who read comic strips know Snoopy and Garfield in greater numbers at that-- Calvin and Hobbes is just rSFFing them), they just prefer Calvin and Hobbes in general.
