just like old times

When I first met my wife, we instantly bonded over a now-defunct website: the Dysfunctional Family Circus, which paired Family Circus cartoons (ripped from that day's newspaper) with nasty comments written by folks at large on the internet.

It was deeply, deeply hilarious -- as only twisted captions written for saccharine Middle-America-that-never-existed cartoons can be. However, Bil Keane threatened to sue -- and the owner of the site respected his wishes and took it down, never to be seen again.

So it really warms my heart that I've found sort of a replacement: The Nietzsche Family Circus, which pairs a random Family Circus cartoon with a random quote from that misunderstood German. The results are pretty much what you'd expect. It's only a matter of time before Keane gets wind of this latest assault on decency, so view it quickly.

It's just like I met her all over again.

(Also good: The Comics Curmudgeon, where the site author takes apart all those useless and largely unfunny comics in the funny pages these days. He has a tendency to make them actually funny.)
