The Free-Floating Dysfunctional Family Circus^TM Archive v1.1.1

Heartwarming cartoons drawn by Bil Keane, gone horribly awry.

Please note that this feature has nothing to do with the actual Family Circus comic, and is not authorized by Bil Keane, his owners, or maintainers. If you're looking for the real Family Circus, proceed to King Features and read as little of this as possible before you do yourself irreparable harm.

Changes include:

• DFC now uses stylesheets. Don't like the way it looks or renders? Now you can make formatting changes via the stylesheet, which is nice
• Most pages now validate against the HTML 4.0 (transitional) spec. Didn't worry too much about the interior pages, since there was some funky stuff going on with some of the captions
• Frameless scrolling effect via CSS. No more losing site of the cartoon while reading, while still free of the bitter aftertaste of frames!

If you're a King Features lawyer, don't bother with telling me to take this down because:

1. This DFC archive is a work of parody, and falls under fair use and parody 1^st Amendment protection
2. There are dozens of copies of this on the net, many less responsible than this one
3. reasonable steps are taken to ensure this material is not confused with the real Family Circus. To wit: individual caption pages are tagged with a NOINDEX meta tag, to keep accidental visitors from bypassing this disclaimer, thus preventing confusion about who has written the captions – and do you really think someone's going to think that Bil or Jeff Keane is responsibile for this?
4. I'm not responsible if someone else doesn't follow the above guidelines and uses this material in a manner that infringes copyright. Talk to them, not me.

Anyhoo, I just didn't want these pages to die. I laugh at most, cringe at some, and occasionally find one that makes me a bit sick. But here they are, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
