It's funny that you mentioned the retarded thing, because my brother and I have this theory that in the very last Family Circus strip ever, all of the children will be revealed to have mental handicaps, and then the whole thing will finally make sense.

I never actually said that I dug the documentary. I did dig it. I'm surprised that, two years on, this has yet to break 10,000 views. I'll see what I can do in the way of pimping it for you.

Whenever I chance upon a Family Circus "comic" my reaction is similar to some of the people here... I study it from all kinds of angles trying to figure out what's supposed to be funny.

Where can you get old family circus strips on the net. I'd like to read them

I like that the guy that overanalyzes (probably facetiously) the strip as being subversive, edgy political humour calls Jeffy "Billy". Billy's the one with blond, straight hair.

There's actually a tragic story behind this comic; one day, in his youth, Bill Keane was set upon by a group of lads with baseball bats. Realising their fault, they spent the rest of the afternoon batting his now-misshapen head back into its proper shape again; the incident left him a vegetable, but fortunately Bill was retarded already and his family didn't notice. Years later, his anger led him to write a comic that would anger people from its very existence, so that they could know his pain
