Dolly’s sadistic parents have dressed her as America’s most-hated angry dingbat, so the neighbors will feed her poison. (Thanks Josh!)

Man I miss the Dysfunctional Family Circus
Meh…who cares? Now if Dilbert showed up in black face…that would be a problem.
Who threw eggs at Bill Keane’s House?
“NOT ME!”
Halloween=Socialist Redistribution of Our Nation’s Candy Resources
It is so nice to see the Family Circus look at the oncoming race war from the humorous perspective of young children awaiting a fun and scary Halloween.
Is that Halloween, or just a prototypical West Virginia on Monday evening?

dannygutters: I think my favorite doctored “Family Circus” cartoon was Jeffy running into the kitchen saying “Mommy, what are Borteds?! Daddy said I should have been one!”
I’m already tired of Palin costumes, and I haven’t even seen any yet.
Question, though: Is an Ashley Todd costume already overplayed? Or just right? Also, do I really have to punch myself in the eye, or can I just use mascara?
Oh, how precious! The Family Circus always helps me navigate the puddles and muddles of this goofy world!
And like good little politicians, those kids always blamed those invisible democrats, Ida Know, and Not Me.
Clearly Bil Keane’s rotting corpse hasn’t witnessed trick-or-treating in 25 years, no uppity parent would think of letting their kids trick or treat in the dark these days.
Hilarious! Somebody told me that Bil Keane went to a comics convention and immediately told a bunch of BLUE SMUTTY STORIES from the podium to try to be “one of the guys,” so the fans wouldn’t think he was a muff for writing this horrible comics strip. Note that one of the other fuckers is supposed to be Iron Man. Weirdly, Lynda Barry wrote this spirited defense of Keane in the intro for the Best Comics of 2007. I’m still trying to get my mind wrapped around that one.
Neon Trotsky: I’m voting for you.
StephanieInCA: try a little burnt cork…
srsly, love the dylan allusion.
ode to the undecideds?: http://www.bobdylan.com/#/songs/not-dark-yet
Also, my most loathed comic EVER.
This is odd. Mr. Keane, Lawrence Welk on line one.
I expect Chris Rock to come in and say, “Yeah, it’s dark enough. Git back in the house, crackers.”
They’re just waiting for the race riot to begin so they can go loot them up an HD teevee!
Family Circus cracks me up
keep hope alive

Hairy Reed: Kind of up there with Ziggy.
regisgoat: Billy is supposed to be Iron Man??? I thought he was dressed as the 2004 electoral map.
I want pics of the inevitable zombie mash-up between Joe The Plumber, Ashley Todd, and the Disaster From Alaska.
Only problem is is that the first 2 components of that outfit can be put together for dirt cheap, it’s that $150K price tag for the last part of that costume that might give one pause.
Whatever, due to the crashy crashy that went on this month I’m on a budget this year, so I’m wearing a suit and tie today and going out as “Unka Joe, Teh Senator, Bitches”. Instead of saying ‘trick or treat’ my line tonight is gonna be ‘Who gives a shit?’
…I swear to god the the first kid to come to my door dressed as a politician is getting a sock full of pennies to the face! Be creative god damn it!!!
JohnnyMeatworth: That is fabulous! Lookie the random quote I got:
Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.
JohnnyMeatworth: Thank you! That’s great… Almost as good as Garfield without Garfield
Ooooh Family Circus! Well done, Kenneth. Well done.
…I would have preferred the “Boondocks” version.
Hairy Reed:
More than “Kathy”?
facehead: Srsly. This is the most amazing political cartoon ever, and I’m not even sure Bill Keane realizes it.
Texan Bulldoggette: I’m sorry, have you not read Marmaduke??
Also, “dark” = “the black people”? Am I right? Sheesh.
“It’s always there, in the lower right hand corner, just waiting to suck.”
regisgoat: the more i think about it, the more i kind of WANT to punch myself in the eye, to make the stupid go away.
that’s actually La Pequena Sarah Palin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV8uEzGuvfc
Is Billy dressed up as Rorschach?
tootsieroll: I got this one:
There are no facts, only interpretations.
http://www.losanjealous.com/nfc/perm.php?c=16&q=132
Sigh. Now “Pluggers” will have to work in a Palin reference.
Dave J.: (r/t “dark”=”black people”) That’s how I read it… Reminds me of the Axe “Dark Temptation” ads, where all the white ladies go crazy for the “Chocolate Man”: http://urbzen.com/2008/10/23/once-you-go-axe-you-never-go-back/
magic titty: Not in a long time. Cartoons kind of got passed over while I was looking through the WANT ADS!
tootsieroll: OMG… I got one that perfectly describes this election from the Repug point of view:
Arrogance on the part of the meritorious is even more offensive to us than the arrogance of those without merit: for merit itself is offensive.
StephanieInCA: If you are going as Ashley Todd have someone else do the backwards “B”. You don’t want to do it in the mirror and accidently do it the right way round.
regisgoat: burnt cork, the foundation of any good hobo costume!
Melamine for halloween! Keep it dark.
Wow. Since I’ve been getting my news online, I’ve forgotten how horrifically unfunny Family Circus is. Thanks, Wonkette.
grendel: You know it.
Oh- everyone must watch that la pequena Sarah Palin if you haven’t yet.
Neon Trotsky: Yes, I think we all got it. Thanks for explaining the joke. You are the comedy assassin.
Batman… Ironman…
Is Bill Keane suggesting that Palin is Wonder Woman??????????
Editors? Can we have a Wonkette costume party? I’m all dressed up like 14 year old Thai hooker and I want the world to see.
NoWireHangers: Wait, WHAT? Haven’t you seen that one where Billy does something cute and ghost of his grandfather is watching him and smiling? Or the one where “Not Me” is a ghost who does random shit in the house and the kids say “Not Me” when asked who did it, and the parents don’t believe them?
You probably just didn’t get it the first time around. You should go back and read those ones another fifty times.

Haha - Drudge losing influence.
Say it ain’t so, Joe!
Neon Trotsky: Candy is the opiate of the masses. Unless it’s meth. Or booze, which is proverbially ‘quicker’. Ok, candy is the opiate of the *fat* masses. Ah. Unless it’s Doritos or Lays Potato Chips. Or twinkies. Or beer.
Yeah, beer is the opiate of the people. Unless it’s vodka.
Eh, fuck it.
The empty-eyed parents, the soulless suburban moonscape, the ghosts of departed elders in the Family Circus…”Is it dark enough yet?” Oh yeah, it’s dark enough.
What the hell is Keane doing adding unsubtle racial elements to his tired, stupid, cliched, moronic alleged comic strip? So is Keane racist? Is he a conservative? Hey, if you don’t like black people, Keane, just come on out and say it–we don’t your veiled bigoted, prejudiced racist crap from you! What a complete idiot. This alleged comic strip should have been scrapped from the Post years ago–it’s just a stinking pile of crap.
rmontcal: Haha… You are the comedy messiah, for you have resurrected comedy from death!
I always hated that Family Circus family. Hated. Even as a small child. They probably registered their invisible grandpa so he could vote for WALNUTS. Well, it’s on now, Bitches!, cuz Marmaduke is in the tank.
tootsieroll: I think you have it backward. Ida. is very Republican; Me. is more Democratic.
grendel: Are you calling me the Obama of Comedy? Am I The One? HENGGHH?!
What the fuck is Billy? Iron Spider Man? You’re slipping Keane. Learn the fucking colors.

coolcatdaddy: How ’bout this:
“Pluggers don’t need to hit Nieman Marcus until the after-Christmas clearance sales.”
“Plugger babysitter.” (Show a cartoon of several kids in a playpen surrounded by Secret Service agents while Mommy gives speeches.)
Bonus: “Plugger plumber.” (Show a cartoon of a bald guy in a tuxedo and cowboy hat singing into a microphone in a recording studio.)
JohnnyMeatworth: Genius!
Republican kid-touchers are getting starbursts in their pants over this cartoon, you betcha.
Miller: What the fuck is Billy? Iron Spider Man? You’re slipping Keane. Learn the fucking colors.
Maybe he’s Optimus Prime?
I don’t think that’s Sarah Palin. She looks more like Laura Engalls Wilder to me. And since when does Batman’s costume have a large amount of BROWN in it? I’m confused.
paigow: She could also be FLDS.
Somebody needs to photoshop a backwards B into that pumpkin hanging in the window and post it.
Palin: vapid and vain enough to take the statement, “Yeah, she’s beautiful, but stupider than a flaming pile of dogshit” as a compliment.
Are we sure it was palin? It could have been Tina Fey.
AngryBlakGuy: I read that as …I swear to god the the first kid to come to my door dressed as a politician is getting a sock full of P3N1S to the face!
My first thought: I never would have pinned ABG as a Republican.
Second thought: I need more coffee/
Don’t worry, Billy, only five more days until Obama brings teh dark…
Imagine what it must be like, living in a tan void unpopulated by objects save a lame jack o’lantern decoration.
binarian: Good guess, but he’s got that big headlight on his chest, so I’m thinking he’s supposed to be Iron Man. But God, who knows with the Keanes? I mean it’s like trying to decipher
some retarded child’s drawing.
Just like the dude said in the movie Go: “There it sits at the bottom of the page, reliably waiting to suck.”
