Calvin & Hobbes Web site
http://www.ucomics.com/calvinandhobbes/
This is a source of strips online, but beware of pop-ups. Archived strips are available but are limited. Checking your local libraries for print books may be a better solution.
Shoe Web site
http://www.ucomics.com/shoe/
This comic strip can also be a good source although more from a pessimistic than an optimistic viewpoint.
For Better or Worse Web site
http://www.comics.com/comics/forbetter/index.html
This explores life from a family perspective and sometimes deals with trust in self, individuality, and the spiritual over the material.
Zits Web site
http://www.kingfeatures.com/features/comics/zits/about.htm
I use this comic strip often to teach literary terms. The lives of the characters take turns at time that can illustrate the transcendental philosophy.
