    Family Circus Mom Dies

    Sad news struck America today when "mommy" died a crazy old lady from natural causes. I'm sure we all remember her proper ladylike demeanor and the excellent mothering skills she never failed to demonstrate.

    'Family Circus' mommy dies in Phoenix

    Thelma Keane, depicted in the The Family Circus cartoon as mommy, died Friday at age 82 of Alzheimer's disease.

    Cartoonist Bil Keane's drawings reflected the family's own at-home adventures that included cartoon kids - Billy, Dolly, Jeffy, PJ and their parents. His wife, "Thel" that rhythms with bell, was an inspiration for the cartoons and had a large likeness that people recognized her at grocery stores, the cartoonist said Sunday. Thel became her husband's business and financial manager as Family Circus gained fans and now is featured in about 1,500 newspapers.

    A memorial service will be held in the small servants chapel on Wednesday.

    Typical salad bar Christian comic strip. Look at this warm fuzzy example:
    Every child should know that Jesus on the cross is what really saved us all.

    Matthew:
    5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
    5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled
    10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
    10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

      Ah, The Family Circus.

      I remember many's the Sunday, after a particularly harrowing service (like the time three Emos showed up and tried to steal from the offering plate), I'd pick up the paper and flip to the comics for a few minutes of mindless relaxation. Nothing, not one comic was more mindless than The Family Circus.
      Bible boring? Nonsense!
      Try Bible in a Year with Brother V, or join Shirlee and the kids as they discuss Real Bible Stories!
      You can't be a Christian if you don't know God's Word!

        I particularly didn't like the Sunday version which was extended and often showed a GHOST! who was responsible for Billy's mischief. They were teaching two lessons at the same time: It's OK to lie to adults, and to blame one's transgressions on the supernatural.
        May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

          Yes, indeed, you are right. And not to mention 7 year old billy never aged. What kind of wiccidian magic is that?
