“The Family Circus” Goes to War

No one likes to make fun of THE FAMILY CIRCUS more than I. In fact, if you go beyond the jump, you'll see a couple of samples of the re-captioned cartoons I frequently post on Facebook.

But I have to say that I have new admiration for Bil Keane after reading about his somewhat gutsy and altruistic trip to Vietnam.

Ah! You’ve reinvented the “Dysfunctional Family Circus” which was a fabulous site where lots of people would post modified Family Circuses like yours. Sadly Bill Keane shut it down.

Sorry - not sorry - but how TF is it "altruistic" to pander to the rapists of the My Lai massacre!?
