It would be a hell of a lot funnier to watch Bil Keane get run over by a train. The Family Circus is positively horrible. I can't believe they waste ink to print it.

Don't forget Mary Worth(less), Rex Morgan, M.D., and Apartment 3-G....any strip whose dialog has an exclamation point at the end of EVERY sentence :|

I don't find the comic very funny, but I don't really care that it exists. At least in my newspaper, it's printed next to the Boondocks :D

My brother hates Family Circus with a passion.

Family Circus is at least bearable if you draw guns in the characters hands and stuff.

Cathy is a comic that should have ended a long time ago. Have you ever noticed how she really only has 2 poses... one standing up, and one sitting on her fat ass?

yeah when I was small I liked it from time to time. Sorry, but I was a complete fvcking idiot. The strip is not humorous whatsoever and hafl the time is retarded. I swear, it's just sentences. It's like, I like ice cream, then a picture of them with ice cream.

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

Others that fall into that category are Hagar the Horrible, Dennis the Mennace, and Marmaduke. I don't know how they're still printed.....they've never been funny! (Well, there was that one Marmaduke comic a couple of years ago where it showed him raping some guy while his owner said something like "He likes you!").
