I knew this guy who hated that comic strip, and used to draw some pretty obscene shit on it. That was the funniest part of the stupid thing.

was glad to see it is hated by others as well. Before I quit reading the comics section of the paper completely it would ruin my day if I accidentally read the Family Circus. Well. ok. not my whole day. But a large part of the next ten minutes.

"Alright - who shit in the microwave?"
"NOT ME"

Yes you did you lying little fuck!

This is what comes to mind.

There are now some worse ones but as a kind it was most often the one that disappointed me more than any other.

Vile filthy propaganda aimed at indoctrinating kids via the funny pages (well, do kids even read papers nowadays?)

Nothing but thinly-veiled evangelical conservative talking points.

MF is a close second though.

Badly drawn; stupid plots. Where I used to work, for awhile we'd take turns clipping the daily Mark Trail strip from the newspaper and pinning it to a bulletin board, where we could laugh at it.

Having read none of them since 1946, you never know what the fuck is going on in any of them.

Oh and then there are Mallard Footmore and Prickly City. Stantis draws nothing but playpen C & H and Bruce Tinsley's a drunkard.

Sorry to say, Garfield really IS better without Garfield.

Al Capp was a right wing shitbag. He's in the movie of John and Yoko's Bed-In, calling Yoko "Madame Nhu" and insulting her. He was quite racist and sexist. Good riddance.

He once put Joan Baez in his strip calling her "Joanie Phoanie".

Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything.

They were stereotypical hippies, and when the mob took over their school, they presented their demands to the new heads of the school, (mobsters) who beat the shit out of them.

It appears to me that it is drawn by a liberal pointing out how stupid conservatives are, and the conservative (that obnoxious cat) is SO stupid I can't bear to read it.
