Huh?

Again - huh?

Just got this note from Margaret Brettschneider:

Hey, tried to comment on the two new comics, and whatever the heck is happening to one of my favorites, Family Circus....what's with the stupid snowman, anyway. Let's get back to the real comic value of Family Circus.
Anyway, that blogspot to comment doesn't work, so I'm trying this way around the problem (e-mailing the newsroom). Those two new strips, Cul de Sac and Family Tree are both pretty stupid...not worth the space.
In my book, the best thing in the whole comic strip section is Marmaduke....and of course, Lola, and Beetle Bailey...these three never get old or stale...always fresh...and the expressions on Marmaduke never fail to crack us all up.
Anyway, just wanted to put in my two cents' worth. Please get Family Circus back to normal too, while you are at it....whoever dreamed up this snowman stuff needs to be throttled....

I hope she's being sarcastic...

Name dropping doesn't help these two



What the hey? Two strips in a day name dropping for a laugh - and getting nothing. What's with the Larry King snowman, anyway? What is this, the fourth day of nonsensical snowman drawings in Family Circus? Who is enjoying this? And why? Check the Comics Curmudgeon for another take on the weird Fam Circus streak.

Your Frank & Ernest fix

A bone for you "Frank & Ernest" fans! Keep those cards and letters coming.

Is F&E better or worse, day in and day out, than, say, "Marmaduke"? "Dennis the Menace?" "Family Circus?"
