Two nices and a nasty

Family Circus, 5/22/22

There's "I increasingly find Pluggers relatable” old and then there's "I unironically find the Family Circus funny" old, but I have to say, I unironically find today's Family Circus funny. The punchline is good, of course, but I also enjoy how sad Billy looks. You've ruined his day, Big Daddy Keane! I was going to say that it's OK for me to enjoy this Family Circus because of how mean it is, but maybe that's why all the old people have always liked it. All those kindly grandmas cutting out the panels and hanging them on their fridge thinking, "That's right, Billy, you're an ignorant little shit, just like my daughter's eldest."
