Family Circus: For the last time, get in here right now or I'm going to start dyeing without you!

And so it was, ironically enough, a mundane and innocent threat that finally brought the leader of the notorious Keane Kult to justice.*

*Ha ha! Belated April Fools'! In reality, the neighbors are all too terrified to report any of the bizarre behavior exhibited by the members of that circus-like family down the road.

Peanuts: How can we lose when we're so sincere?

This is old and overlinked, but it's baseball season now and it's always good to be reminded of brilliant things, so go (re)read this statistical analysis of Charlie Brown's baseball team. Despite their sincerity, they are not very good.

Crankshaft: I need some quality time with the Reader's Digest.

Is there any situation more horrible than Crankshaft knocking at your door, angrily demanding a place to poop?

If so, I don't want to know about it.

Family Circus: You're the oldest, so that make you responsible.

And so Dolly has already mastered the fine art of scapegoating.

She will make an excellent tyrant.

Blondie: If only it were rabbit season.

This comic is hilarious because Mr. Dithers would like to shoot and kill his employee, but feels constrained by a particular law that has no actual bearing on the situation.

Non Sequitur: OMG! Like the end is totally near :(

Ha ha! The existence of acronyms and emoticons is definitely a good reason to wish for the wanton destruction of all human life! Good point, Wiley!

Hi and Lois: I finally got the playroom picked up.

Continuing the thread of existential angst from a couple days ago, here we see what Hi and Lois would have looked like if Albert Camus had decided to go to work for Mort Walker Inc. instead of dying in a car accident.

9 Chickweed Lane: ...

These last few 9 Chickweed Lane comics would probably be more emotionally resonant without the bizarre hand-fucking.

Family Circus: NO WAY! I'm not gonna fall for that. You can't April Fool me.

Dolly is vastly overestimating her idiot brother's intelligence here. She ought to know better. Given his embarrassingly limited mental capacity, there's simply no way Jeffy could formulate a plot as complex as putting a caterpillar on his sister's shoulder.

Hagar the Horrible: Give me ALL your jellybeans!!

Because what better way to celebrate the resurrection of Christ than by raping and pillaging the countryside?
