take a look at these fine examples of an active, vibrant online community: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0449148076/002-8668652-1158428 I've reprinted the best one here in case it's been pulled. I'll Shovel the Cards by Bill Keane Customer Comments Strom Thurmond thastromeister@fatrichwhiteguyswithtoomuchtimeontheirhands.com from The good old US of A! , March 9, 1999 This type of smut must be outlawed! Within the confines of this great Republic we call the United States, a quiet plowman infects our youth. No, not the iconographic Johnny Appleseed afforesting our tables with Mom's Apple Pie, but a more sinister, inauspicious cultivator. Bill Keane, once apprehended in Connecticut for his failure to pay alimony, has once again invenomed the wonderful world of the United States. This book, filled with the grossest immoralities and wickedness the Old Testament can't match, has been released to a largely unaware audience. We look upon the Ida Know character in this seething cauldron of angst Mr. Keane calls "Family Circus" as nothing more than a harmless imp, a Puck if you will, spreading mischief and innocent mayhem. But I say look closer friends, and recoil in the understanding that Ida Know has created the work of the devil. Cleverly backdropping this demonic entity into the idyllic paradise the family otherwise enjoys, Keane lulls us into believing that life is controlled by the whims of supernatural beings. I say, where's the American Family Circus? God has blessed this country with the greatest leaders in the world, but Keane's depiction is quite frankly blasphemous. And it only gets worse, my fellow American. Read page 32 of this text. Little Billy is essentially forced to view his mother and father in a panel that pertains directly to the sexual. Barfy's bone? I don't think so. Then there's Uncle Roy's blatant lust for his NIECE! His flagrant homosexuality blazing across the pages with abandon! His frequent references to the sexual tension between Daddy and Neighbor Bob! How much more can our country afford to lose? In the end, will there be a country worth fighting for if this smut is allowed to propogate? My fellow citizens, I am proposing a bill. Senate Bill #57684 will directly outlaw Bill Keane's outlandish and nauseating filth from the face of this great country once and for all. Please email me with your name for a confidential petition getting this Bill off the ground. Thank you.
