Why Is This "Family Circus" Cartoon Funny

[Tamex]

@NicePete

It’s a reference to Uncle Roy and his painful “mishap” with the psychic fern.

I thought that involved Jeffy’s hypno-hair, which is nowhere to be seen in this panel.

That’s a question that could be applied to pretty much every Family Circus ever.

Obligatory quote from Go:

–So what do you have against ‘The Family Circus?’

–Okay you sit down to read the paper and you’re enjoying your entire two page comic spread, right, and then there’s the Family fucking Circus, bottom right hand corner waiting to suck and that’s the last thing you read so it spoils everything you read before.

–You could just not read it…

–I hate it, yet I’m uncontrollably drawn to it.
