Reply #9: Family Circus!1 My original boycott. Boycotted so long I'd forgotten it!1 [View All]

And Family Circus *WAS* mainly an ideology boycott, when I found out about the artist's wingnuttiness and his demeaning words about younger, Lib cartoonists.

But back to FBOFW, that Anthony dude was just beyond geeky, into the creepy territory. And Elizabeth turned into some kind of masochistic doormat, pining after him through a line of boyfriends, then crawling back to him.

Frazz is giving me a hard time. Granted that I'm often called clueless and comprehension-deprived here at DU, but the punch lines escape me periodically. Plus, the adult dude interacting almost exclusively with kids is borderline "frazz" inducing. Yes, his job is set among kids. No, I don't consider adult males to be automatic predators. Something just sets off bells.
