Family Circus - the Lawsuit Continues

Bite me, Billy.

AGAIN.

Since the first installment proved to be so popular, I've decided to give it another go.

As I was perusing through the Sunday Funnies as I normally do, it dawned on me that "Family Circus" is one of the absolute worst comic strips of all time.

Why I'm the last to realize this, I have no fucking clue.

Regardless, I decided to take some of the Family Circus cartoons and update them with my brand of 2010 humor.

Enjoy.

There.

That's better.

I suppose the next time you'll hear from me, it will be from jail due to Copyright infringement or some shit.

Fuck it. Totally worth it.

Take that, Billy!

Moog out.

  4. HAAA! Don't stop and don't worry, we'll all bail you out.

  5. Family Psychos. That's what this series should be called.

    If you say "Family Psychos" with a New Yoik accent, it's virtually indecipherable from saying "Family Circus" with the same accent.

    Fact.

    Anyhoo, looks like I will spend another day talking like Horseshack.

  7. I think you're onto a winner here! You beat the pants off of the original comic strips.

    Apologies for getting disconnected from you - I'm following you again. Google has been leaving me with carpet burns on my chin...

  8. Moog you silly goose!

    SMooch.

  9. Disturbing...where your brain goes that is. In the old days, they drilled a tiny little hole in the head to let those bad thoughts escape...was popular about the same time Family Circus first came out and men sported clubs and fig leaves.

  10. I think this quote on the DFC Web site really sums up the fuckfest that is The Family Circus:

  16. I think by making your version of the comic somewhat faded, you have avoided any copyright issues.

    Of course, there is still the penis thing.

  17. When I was little, Family Circus used to be like my favorite cartoon EVAH. But I distinctly remember reading it one day and going, "Wow, this isn't actually all that funny" ... and I have remained unimpressed ever since.

    True story.

    Yeah. I said it.

  19. I just realized that you renamed them "The Family Fuckshow"...that makes it all the better.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Dude, that is so freaking hilarious. And I knew where you were going with that last one before I even read the caption.

    Awesomeness.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Do you ever wonder why the bottoms of their shoes always look smooth like glass or ice? No? Me either. Awkward...

    ReplyDelete
  22. that last one is as disturbing as it is funny!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Wow. Thank God I didn't have to grow up with that comic strip. No wonder you Americans are so weird.

    ...Not that I think you're weird, or anything... Ahem.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Good stuff moooooog. Perhaps you can make one up for when their lawyers come knocking on your door. That will be funny as hell.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I am still hanging my head in shame over my childhood love of this comic. I was clearly a speshul child.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I applauded these and my wife said "What the hell are you clapping for"

    bravo.

  28. If I send you my family photos will you scrapbook them for me? I think you could come up with much better captions than I....

  30. Yours are waaaaay funnier. I hate that cartoon. Can that dude feel good about himself when he goes home at night?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Moooooog...you are one sick puppy. In a good way.

  33. random: shitballs?

    Kate: It's all in the details.

    Brutalism: I know you are but what am I.

    Wait. I think I did that wrong.

    Chris: There was only the one way to go on that last one.

    That's what she said.

    Elly: Easier prey?

    No idea.

    Meleah: Tell me about it..and I wrote the damn thing.

    Ziva: Yes..we're weird. Says the woman named 'Ziva.'

  34. Ew. Family Circus. Horrible. That last one though is hilarious. Ha!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I always thought they were a family of dwarves with normal height parents.

    Wait, is that right? Midgets? NOOO... Little People, then.

    Either way, I hated them.

    ReplyDelete
  36. They are waaaay to cute and family oriented for me. Yours seem better and way more realistic. NO FAMILY loves each other that much!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Every time I see this comic, I am utterly astonished that this sort of stupid drivel is in national syndication.

    Yours is way better. Maybe, give them a call, see if you can fill out an application.

    ReplyDelete
  38. The best thing about being poor is that you don't have any money they can sue you for. I've always hated the Family Circus too.... especially when they go all religious. I much prefer your versions... they're actually funny.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I used to read Family Circus religiously. And yes, I am very embarrassed and bewildered to be admitting this publicly.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I think you need to patent this idea. This is getting more and more awesome. (I am commenting from the future so I KNOW you WILL be doing more of this...)
