Does anyone like family circus

Get over it and quit obsessing about the past. I would think she would start weirding out the kids, but they seem to love the hell out of her even though she spends her days fantasizing about old dead Grampa. Sypha, it sounds like F. Bush will do to me. Especially the wonderful idea of corporations self regulating themselves on pollution controls. Sounds like the Mechanists and the City to me! My favorite strip is actually one most of you probably hate: Gil Thorp. Gil is the best of the best.

I have to visit the official website: www. I just love Marty Moon. Do high schools really have sports games broadcast over the radio? It has more camp value than any strip out there. Now I can truly claim to have one of everything. How'd Gore lose to that ignorant-"can't pronounce subliminal"-redneck anyway? Big Brother. He lost because the Supreme Court is conservative.

If Gil Thorp had run he would have beat both Bush and Gore. He has both family values and a strong sense of right and wrong. Plus, he is one hell of a coach. Gore lost because he doesnt know who the hell he is and he kept reinventing himself every other day. The 's added another set of themed strips "It's Apparent You're a Parent" , which expands the Sunday strip to multi panel or in this case, circle format to showcase how parenthood, through Bil and Thel, affects their everyday lives when dealing with their fellow adults.

Occassionally, the strip will go on a week long "hiatus" as Bil Keane allowed his then young son, and later his grandson, to contribute rather crudely drawn "fill-in" strips when their father and grandfather needs to take a breather from work. Besides little kids, the sincere fanbase for the comic consists of parents and grandparents who love the domestic slice-of-life humor of writers like the late Erma Bombeck; in fact, she and Keane were friends. One of Keane's sons, Glen , became a top animator at Disney where he was the lead character animator for Ariel , the Beast , Pocahontas , and John Silver , among others.

Another son, Jeff, began assisting his dad with the comic in the 's, and has taken over following Bil's death in November While it's ostensibly a humorous comic strip with a wide circulation, The Family Circus has been more popular as the butt of jokes at least since The '90s.

Family Circus strips were posted without the original caption, inviting readers to submit alternate interpretations of the scene. While successful, Keane wanted to try his hand at something else. Drawing on his household experiences with five children, he created a slice-of-life strip titled Family Circle in The name was a reference to the circular panel Keane used.

The house tips magazine Family Circle objected, thinking it might confuse readers. Keane obliged them, changing the strip to The Family Circus. Prior to Circus , Keane had an idea for a strip called Spot News , which would provide commentary on world events. But one element of the strip stuck with him: He decided to draw it inside of a circle because some newspapers would use it as a spot illustration above their masthead, guaranteeing a wide audience. When you look at the comic page, you can usually depend on something acceptable by the entire family.

Going from to day from funny, to a warm loving look, to a commentary, and even to inject religion into the feature.
