Comics that would make Family Circus look positively spectacular include Ferd'nand, Luann and Nancy.

Luann is sooooo funny! So is Haggar

I forgot, Luann is written for a middle-school audience. Sorry.

Family circus comics always make me think of those old-timey movies about not doing drugs that you have to deal with in grade school.

old people enjoy it. It reminds them of "golden years" or some sh!t.

LOL, you guys hit it right on the head. They're the same people that think Bob Hope is funny.

All the comics listed are terrible along with Blondie. That one was around in the 40s and it hasn't changed at all.

You mean WAS funny.

I'm going to get flamed for this, but they need to get rid of:

Blondie, Nancy, Rex Morgan, Snuffy Smith, Family Circus, and Peanuts.

I never read comics. I was illiterate as a yut.

Spent lots of time out doors.

Still on that Bob Hope kick? He may not be all that funny, but he's definitely more funny than Family Circus. Sometimes I wonder if Family Circus is even supposed to be funny.
