The Fucking Family Circus

Many thanks to King Feature’s "The Family Circus" — a favorite for generations.  (proving to Sophia once and for all that I can curse like the rest of ’em)

    Yeah, you can write it alright. But can you say it?

  2. Jodi

    And can you DO it, all right or otherwise?

    I noticed mom has really great abs and a great bod in general in all these cartoons. Especially after having 4 kids! Wow! … I wonder if she’s pro-ana? …. Nah, what am I thinking? Pro-ana ppl probably think she looks fat in these pictures.

    I apologize to all my church and synagogue going readers. I don’t know what was on my mind before…

  5. Pearl

    Funny, but I read this post and suddenly all I could hear were the Eagles singing “Desperado…”

    But it was f–n funny!

    hey… I’m looking at that LONG blogroll of yours and I noticed you’ve got at least one blog for every letter of the alphabet except for “Q” and “Z” ….

    Sometime in the near future, when you’re as bored as I must be at the moment, you should go out and find a Q and Z blog to fill out that blogroll! You could be the first blogger to say he’s got blogs from A to Z.

    Afterthought: Neil, as you can probably tell, my mind is sometimes warped… Didn’t mean to sound insulting to you with my previous comment–sorry if it might’ve come across that way. (what can I say…I’m a syngogue-going person with a guilt complex!)

    I’m shocked and appalled! Not family circus!

  9. Neil

    Pearl — I’m not insulted easily, especially when it’s true.

    Do you have to use bad language to get your point across?

  11. Brooke

    POTTY MOUTH POTTY MOUTH!!!

  12. Neil

    Brooke, I think you’ve been with those first graders a little too long already.

    Shudder! This comic strip has always pained me. I hate their children. Is that bad?

  14. Megan

    If I had to live the life of the Family Circus mother, I would be dropping F-bombs all day. Seeing these pictures makes me want to get my tubes tied.

    Oh Neil, how dare you use such vulgarity around my virgin ears! I am shocked and appauled. (And a little bit aroused.)

    “fuck” is one of my favorite words.

    but i hate the famly circus, especially the boy. he needs a smack.

    though i don’t believe violence is the answer- especially when dealing with children.

    i just woke up. i shouldn’t be allowed to comment. 😉

  16. M.A.

    I’ll never look at that comic strip the same way again.

    Thanks!

  17. heather

    holy crap, neil, i think i just peed in my pants.

  18. Pauly D

    I’d like to see you do this with GARFIELD.

    I know you can, Neil. I know you can.

  19. mrsmogul

    I used to read that strip! I want to see the Peanuts say F@cking!

  20. Edgy Mama

    Fucking hell, Neil.

  21. Neil

    Pauly — Garfield, a definite yes. That and Marmaduke are the worst comic strips ever.

    Mrs. Mogul — Peanuts? Are you insane? Peanuts is art. That would be like defacing the Mona Lisa. Although seeing Lucy and Schroeder finally doing the nasty — that I would pay for…

  22. Pearl

    Neil, I wait (as I’m sure do your other readers) with bated breath to see how you will top this post!!! (and don’t use any “low blows” and talk about Sophia; that won’t cut it this time)

  23. Jewels

    Just great! I have always wondered how that mother put up with all those kids 🙂

    Yes – Lucy and Schroeder have to do the nasty. I would pay for that too!

  24. Mr. Fabulous

    I love it. 2005. It is trailblazers like you that made people like me possible.
