Family Circus: Stop bouncing on those air mattresses!

This cartoon is hilarious because the Keane kids are bouncing on air mattresses.

On another note, Thel is one angry mother. Hardly a cartoon goes by in which she is not issuing some sort of sharp directive or furrowing her brow in incipient rage or, at the very least, exhibiting a pained grimace. I can hardly blame her, of course. Her life well and truly sucks. But perhaps she would do well to take a vacation by herself. Maybe visit her old friend Ziggy and take out the trash in the nude and feel content for a change. Not that Bill would ever allow such a thing. It's not as though he could be expected to take responsibility for the children (or even himself) for any period of time.
