The comics haven't been the same since Calvin and Hobbes signed off. Yet somehow The Family Circus continues to survive?
I would rate The Family Circus as Hemingway compared to one of our offerings: "Rose is Rose." But the absolute worst is a one panel comic, "Hazel." It is an abomination. I think it is the comic strip that the TV show may have been based upon, and I don't think the humor or settings have been updated since the TV show aired. You can practically smell the mothballs when you read it.
