Not even The Family Circus can remain free from the ennui that has gripped much of the comics section over the past week. The dull monotony of Billy's life--here represented by the same two egg salad sandwiches day after day after day--has very nearly defeated him. And unlike his brother or Garfield, he doesn't even have the cheap thrill of sadism to temporarily spice things up.

Ugh ... you don't suppose they're going for a post-Easter joke, patterned after the ol' post-Thanksgiving "yep, turkey sandwich!" gag?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I just spent precious seconds of my life trying to find the humor in a Family Circus "joke". I'm gonna go find some more productive use of my time now, like photocopying blank pieces of paper.
