I took great pleasure in disliking The Family Circus comic strip, but the guy did bring a lot of joy to people for many years. RIP.

Did you know he started off calling it Family Circle, but the magazine of the same name said nuh-uh, bro, so he changed the title.


Got this from wikipedia entry on The Family Circus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Family_Circus).  
Looks like the strip started off a little less-than-wholesome!
