Family Circus: I made Prince Charming's castle and his garage.

Here we see Dolly once again pushing back against the crushing male hegemony of her world by symbolically casting the Prince Charming archetype into a volcano.

Bill is, as usual, confused, so he's just smiling stupidly.

Crankshaft: The grandchildren really love my new cat

This comic is hilarious because the children are abusing the old lady's new cat.

Baby Blues: Hammie, are you using your electric toothbrush in there?

And so, at the distressingly young age of six, Hammie has discovered the joys of anal stimulation.

Family Circus: But I CAN'T go to the bathroom myself--this isn't our house!

Having relocated, Jeffy is unsure how to poop. This has made him sad.

Family Circus: But Sam doesn't even KNOW he's a dog! He's one of the family!

Here we see Billy--good, decent, humane Billy--lashing out at an unfair and arbitrary system. As Ghandi once said (maybe), "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."

This cartoon is hilarious, of course, because no one actually believes that shit.

Family Circus: We're chimpanzees! So, you can be Jane Goodall and keep an eye on us.

Billy knows who Jane Goodall is. This is very impressive for a five-year-old. He continues to be a genius.

Family Circus: Is it okay if PJ and I get a little wet?

Dolly never passes up an opportunity to further humiliate her powerless mother.

Family Circus: So, what are you plannin' to turn into when you grow up?

Jeffy, of course, believes that he already turns into a werewolf. This cartoon seems to suggest that he thinks this puts him ahead of the curve. It is all very sad.

Family Circus: No, Mommy! I can dress myself!

Thel, having allowed herself for one brief moment to believe her idiot son capable of performing one simple task on his own, ended up sorely disappointed.

Mallard Fillmore: Who needs something that completely ignores you while expecting to be fed?

Oh, Mallard Fillmore, it's a good thing you're an adorable duck, or you're hatred of women would be really offensive.
