Teh Internets More Cartoonery
posted by on April 10 at 16:09 PM
I’ve talked about all the Internet molestation of Garfield. I just found the Nietzsche Family Circus, which randomly pairs a Family Circus cartoon with a Nietzsche quote.
Of course, people have been writing dirty captions for Family Circus cartoons for years, probably decades (My favorite altered Family Circus caption, made by an old roommate, involves the word “joe-bob,” and that’s all I’ll say about it, and once, when I was bored, I took the lyrics from Leonard Cohen’s song “Suzanne” and applied them to Family Circus cartoons in such a way to make it seem as though Dolly and Jeffy were star-crossed lovers), but this is notable for a brief click-by if just because the captions and the images sometimes mesh a little too well.
For instance, the caption to this cartoon:
Reads, “After the old god has been assassinated, I am ready to rule the world.”
And the caption to this:
Reads, “A subject for a great poet would be God’s boredom after the seventh day of creation.”
And as an added bonus, when you’re done with the random generator, your workday has been decreased by another fifteen minutes.
will we get to see the ones you did?
I prefer the Cthulhu Family Circus, myself.
That was fun, thanks for the tip!
this one is hilarious
Third post today that is completely behind the times. I have known about the Nietzche Family Circus for years. The other irrelevant OLD NEWS posts were the one about the Dalai Lama and the one about Obama and the gay press. I expect better from Slog.
@5 - Miles dude. You don't come to Slog for bleeding edge internet memes. "It's new to me." Just enjoy the trip down memory lane!
I knew a guy who would deface the Family Circus every morning, usually to very funny effect. But his best was his simplest: One of the boys is eating breakfast during summer with the caption, "I love wakin' up and remembering that there's no school." All my friend did was change the last word to "future."
my god. this is brilliant.
Another oldie.
But then I'm not too cool.

No future, no future, no future for me.

I always thought Family Circle was the lamest comic ever. This makes it more palatable.
