Donald Duck, of course!
Also Calvin&Hobbes is good.
Excellent taste in humor comics there!
The classic Donald Duck comics (and their spin-offs, such as the Uncle Scrooge titles) were scripted and drawn by Carl Barks, who's widely considered one of the greatest children's artists of the 20th century (though his audience was never just children, and he knew it). His stories were always warm, wry and very funny, his characters were wonderfully memorable and engaging, and his brush-inked lines pulsed with life. He invented the town of Duckburg and many of its best-known inhabitants, such as Uncle Scrooge McDuck, Gladstone Gander, the criminal Beagle Boys, the inventor Gyro Gearloose, and the witch Magica De Spell. Many of his scripts had a fable- or fairytale-like quality about them, both parodying the world and delivering wisdom about the art of living in it.
Bill Watterson, who drew Calvin & Hobbes, is also an artist to be greatly respected. His art, although simple, was lively, expressive, and managed to set a lot of mood and tone with just a minimal amount of rough brush lines. Most importantly, though, his stories and characters were engaging, memorable, highly imaginative and intelligent, and they felt very true to many people's memories of being a smart, socially maladjusted kid.
