I *KNOW*. I like to *DIE*.

This makes me so very happy.

Honest and true, yeah.

I'm wondering what it was the first time this panel was reused, and maybe the second time it wsa reused too.

Apparently somebody took credit for it on a messageboard for a WH40K videogame - claimed to be Jeff Keane's son who had given him the idea.

I had to see this on the website /and/ a photo of the newspaper before I'd buy that this was real. It's just too perfect.

When I saw it in the newspaper I was holding in my hands, I still couldn't quite believe what I was reading!

Maybe some prankster hacked the comic syndicate's submission system? Because if this was, say, Foxtrot I'd have believed it. But Family Circus? Is Bil Keane not rising from his grave this very moment to end the world of the living?

The fact that it's talking about one of the more boring-vanilla unit types in the game does maintain some of the Family Circus-ness of the strip, at least.

It only took 50 years or so for the Keanes to write a family Circus that was actually funny.

I don't care how it happened - I like it!
