Saturday? In the Park?
It’s Family Circus, so we’re expecting cuteness, not a knee-slapper joke. Any of us who are parents or who were kids remember leaving a project until the last minute and requesting parental help. But why did this comic, appearing on a Thursday, specify Saturday night? Wouldn’t Sunday night have been a more appropriate caption?
Saturday Morning OYs – September 14th, 2024
Okay, they can have one now and then!
Two driving comics that arrived in my email inbox on the same 06 September delivery. (The Zack Hill was one in a series about Jan’s assignment to anger management school.)
For a while this felt like it should go somewhere in the “All we needed was the first panel” family of picky categorizations. But then it turns out I would have entirely missed the extra pun, were it not for the final panel telling us exactly what we were missing!
Saturday Morning OYs – July 27th, 2024
This first one is more of an Ewww than an OY:

A Comic I didn’t understand the first three times I saw it. I wasn’t puzzled, just mistaken.
I thought the point was just in the dog choosing to ignore the request (command) and pursue different interests.
This atrocious B.C. pun appeared just in time for the opening ceremonies:
Tolkien wrote that the Elves made three rings, the Dwarves were given seven rings, and Sauron made nine rings to entrap the Nazgul, but where do the five rings fit into the story?
Sunday Funnies – LOLs, January 29th, 2023
There are likely some Jeopardy fans here. Isn’t is a great feeling when you get Final Jeopardy right, and none of the contestants do?
Chemgal notes that Bug Martini has been very sporadic of late, but this one brings a chuckle.
Hey, doesn’t the layout of the sticks and their backings look eerily like a face? Two eyes, round button nose, wide mouth …?
Okay, it’s nerd-amusing rather than outright hilarious …. But what a good excuse for posting a song!
All the Men
From larK, who asks “why the long line of dead kids — I am supposing they are NOT meant to represent the current father et al as a child, so… they still suffer from high infant mortality in Family Circus Land??”
