Jus when you thought 'The 'Family Circus' couldn't be any suckier

[Zomby Woof]

Dolly as Palin. :puke:

As a blogger pointed out, the caption can definitely be taken in more than one way:

[woo me with science]

1. Wow, that's.....disturbing. nt

[HopeFor2006]

2. Can you think of a scarier costume?

[tridim]

3. I'm stunned that Family Circus still exists.

I thought it died in the late 70's because it sucked so bad.

4. the perfect ending would be for Marmaduke to eat them.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

15. LOL, Marmaduke gets rabies from a puke and pays a visit to the "family"

5. I've been a follower of the family circus for years

and I've never had to say I was surprised at how sucky it could get.

I especially like the dead grampa with angel wings and the little dotted line trips around the neighborhood.

A couple years back our local paper moved it off the funnies page into the classified section and I panicked because I couldn't find it. I thought good ol Bill Keane had gone tits up.

But I finally found it. Now I look forward to it each and every day.

It really does suck. But the mom on TFC is kind of a MILF. I like those tight sweaters she wears.

11. Don't worry about Bill

Going tits up. He has an even stranger right-wing son waiting in the wings to take over the strip and recieve his inheiretence. I vote for "we ain't seen nothin' yet."

6. I dont get it.

[BlooInBloo]

13. I don't either.

[Kahuna]

7. Awwww.

:loveya: Dolly, Jeffy and PJ. How can you not???

[Kelvin Mace]

8. Hmmmm

Sorry, I think it's a reach.

First, subtlety is not a conservative hallmark. Second, sometimes a comic is just a comic.

9. Never mind the caption

Just having Dolly dress up as Palin is enough. Keane and his son are from the Phoenix AZ suburbs, and right-wing crap usualy infests their crap panel.

No doubt Palin is a role model for the spawn of idiot suburban Repuke fundies as depicted in the panel.

10. Bil Keane is a very old man and lives in Phoenix.

What are the odds he's Republican?

[Occam Bandage]

Jeff Keane does the strip, and I have no idea about his political leanings.

[salguine]

12. remove

[Teaser]

14. was this strip ever funny?

not when I was a kid...

[Occam Bandage]

16. I'm sure more people went as Palin than as Iron Man.

And claiming racism is preposterous. It's not really that funny, but it's not racist either.

[Borgnine]

17. Whoa! The Family Circus recognizes Halloween?

I'd figure they'd be going off to some "harvest party."

[Arugula Latte]

18. I've got a funny follow-up strip. Dolly, Jeffy and PJ die after eating melamine-contaminated candy.

End of strip.

You're welcome, Bill Keane.

19. omg - I just looked at my paper from yesterday - and it was in there.
