So not funny it’s funny. Or not.

While administering mid-terms earlier today, I came up with the perfect idea for a Marmaduke comic. Just imagine Marmaduke and his owner outside of a drive-through car wash with the owner trying his best to shove Marmaduke into the car wash. In turn, the caption reads, “There has to be a better way to give you your Sunday bath!” You see, it’s funny because Marmaduke is larger and more stubborn than the average dog and that creates a unique set of frustrations for his surprisingly even-tempered owners.
Come to think of it, I have a pretty good idea for a Family Circus strip, too. Here’s the scene: Jeffy and his mom are sitting on the sofa smiling and flipping through an old family photo album together. Jeffy turns to his mom and says, “Sometimes I think they should call the ‘good old days’ the ‘best old days.’” Oh, and the ghost of Jeffy’s grandfather–also smiling–is floating around in the background.
Being a cartoonist would be so easy if it wasn’t for the drawing.

Since you linked to the Family Circus website, I was looking through the old comics from the 60’s when there was a different dad. I couldn’t belive all the carelessness, alcoholism, and nudity. My how the comic has changed.
That could very well be the best thing I’ve ever seen, Andy. Thank goodness the Family Circus mom divorced that first guy; he doesn’t seem like a very responsible father. Of course, he might have passed away–probably due to his chain-smoking or alcoholism. After all, he looks old enough to be her father.
Thanks for the links!
