Cathy.

What the hell is this?! This is the crappiest comic strip to ever exist! All that ever happens is Cathy has some kind of problem about her clothes or her diet! It's not even funny! Isn't that the point of most comic strips? To be funny? Whoever wrote this should get their cartoonist liscense revoked so they can never stain the good name of comic strips ever again!

No it's the 2nd worst comic strip ever. Family Circus is so incredibly bad I almost laugh at how pathetic it is sometimes.

^ VGA is kinda loopy, don't worry about it.

Geez, Comic about.....wait a minute, is this a complaint about the Sunday Comics?

Oh, well I don't get Cathy anymore. The Drawing was kind of....well, bad.

^^^You're kidding, right? Family Circus isn't supposed to be a really funny comic, it's more of a feel good comic. And to say that it sucks is completely off base.

Family Circus does not make me feel good. It makes wonder why the writer has made the family eternally trapped in the past, and why he has made the kids so stupid.

^They're little kids for crying out loud! How many little kids do you know that are smart? I'm pretty sure you were that "stupid" when you were that age too.

Not so stupid that all I could remember about a car trip was fast food and that I would name my dog "barfy".

Do you even know how little kids act? I'm around them all the time at church, and all little kids act like that. Kids don't remember details that don't benefit them (ex: food). And all kids like to think of rediculous names for things. "Barfy" is actually pretty tame for a lot of the other things I have heard.

You haven't given a reason for why they seem to be trapped in 1960.




I don't know any adults who would let their kids name their dog barfy.

^Why? Because no comic strip ever ages their characters. Peanuts? Nope, they'll still kids, yet your not complaining there. Garfield? If he did, he'd be dead by now. Or even the DC and Marvel comics. Shouldn't Batman, Ironman, Spider-man, the Hulk, and the X-Men all be retired by now, if not dead? But I don't see you complaining about those now do I?

Yes they do. It's caled For Better Or For Worse and Baby Blues. And whether or not they age them comic strips with living creators mention some mordern or atleast use some more modern themes then the FC does.




GARFIELD IS FUNNY LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT TO GARFIELD OR JUST IGNORE THIS TOPIC.

^...It's funny once or twice every few years now. Nowadays, it's mostly like this. Garfield sucks.

Luann (Know she gets older, because of storyline plots, I.e can't wait to drive/her driving and her brother at school/then her brother as a firefighter.)
and
About April (I think, haven't read them for a while.)

OK. So there are some that do that. But that wasn't the point. The point was that why should he hate that one cominc for not changing when so many other comics don't change either?

^ because he doesn't understand that different people have different humour views.

@UG174:You should understand that different people like different stuff. What makes some people laugh, sometimes aren't funny to others? Like me for instance, I can't stand watching "The Office", yet so many people I know love it.

Family Circus and Cathy really are boring.

Peanuts note: The characters did age, just very slowly. I think it's most noticible with Linus & Sally in the older years and Rerun in the newer.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
