I've heard some pretty strong arguments against having any "canon" in comics, and I tend to agree. What canon there is is mostly defined by the strong tradition of comics strips to superheroes to undergrounds, as exemplified by the Masters of American Comics show of a decade ago. I think a few old farts still argue about the Comics Journal's Top 100 Comics of the Twentieth Century, but we've come a long way in just 15 years. These canons just aren't diverse enough to reflect where comics have gone in just a very short time.

I’ll sit back and see where they place “Smile”…
Let’s see how many kids’ titles are placed, as well as DC and Marvel.
Since it’s now 2015, wouldn’t this be the best time to rethink the best comics/creators of the Twentieth Century?
