Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Family Circus, a comic drawn by local comic Bil Keane, has been hijacked by fans of Nietzsche and Dysfunction, but it really hit the comedic fan when Jersey Circus decided to combine Keane’s drawings with lines from the stupid, unbelievable, yet kind of wonderful television show, Jersey Shore.
In 1999, Keane sent the author of Dysfunctional Family Circus a cease-and-desist letter and the Dysfunction was discontinued.
No word on a possible end for Nietzsche Family Circus or Jersey Circus, but we’re sure Keane’s thrilled.
