The Family Fucking Circus

Alright. My first post and it's a rant. I was talking to this annoying, mustached girl from work about comics in the San Angelo Standard times and was shocked to find out that while my favorite comic lately has been either Non-Sequitor, Dilbert, and Get Fuzzy, her favorite has always been The Family Circus. The rest are there to take up space. What's the matter with The Family Circus? First off, lemme clear the air. I'm a married father of two so I know what it's like to be a parent. I can understand that sometimes in parenting, there are hilarious moments and cute moments. None of those can be seen in TFC. Jeffy getting run over by Dolly when she accidently backs Daddy's car out of the drive-way would be funny. I'm a bit sick in the head, i'll admit. But I think it would be funny. What I don't find funny is the massive over use of kids using puns and misunderstanding the meaning of normal words. Today's was Jeffy riding a tricycle and saying, Disney made a movie about cars, when are they gonna make a movie about trikes. Please tell me what's funny about that? Sometimes I wish I could draw so I could make a family circus cartoon I'd like to see. It'd be something like Petey holding a grenade pin in his hand and his brother's playing keep away from Dolly with live hand grenade. I hate TFC so much I have to read it first. That way I don't have to worry about accidently reading it and leaving me in a bad mood for the rest of the day. I either end up on Dilbert or Get Fuzzy. Those always make me laugh. Fuckin TFC.
