I've always been extremely angered by the comic strip Family Circus.

It is neither funny, nor insightful, nor charming. It sucks.

It's been in the newspapers for over 50 years.

The original cartoonist died a few years ago.

Now his inbred son is drawing it.

So at the m@b release party in August, I laid out a few blank copies of a Family Circus weekend comic.

I wanted to see what people would say for Billy.

It was an idea that originated in my old roommate Jay's head.

He had wanted to do just this thing, with this exact strip, at his going-away party a few years back.

We got high on helium and forgot to do it.

It was his birthday last weekend so I thought I'd give him this little surprise. Happy b-day Jay!

Beware: the use of language is offensive (to some).

I take no responsibility. Unless you like them.
