There's two schools of thought on why Chevy Chase's talk show failed. Chevy's own view was that it all started to go south the night Bil Keane was on. The other view-- held by everyone but Chevy-- is that the show bombed because Chevy was such a loser. Everyone can agree, however, that the show in question was dismal. Keane himself concedes, "Hell, even my own family couldn't watch it."Horselover Fat

Hi people, this week on InternetToday we have special guest Bil Keane who is going to teach us how to make our Web pages as funny as his cartoon!Yakko
Of course Billy's too young and unsophisticated to realize that furniture, curtains, perspective, and backgrounds all detract from my elegant, lifelike portrayals of the family. By only having the essentials of the cartoon visible, my topical, biting satire is so much more effective.anon

Hi, my name is Pig Pen and I'm and alcoholic. "Hi Pig Pen". Well it all started when I was about three years old and I never washed myself. But people didn't realize that my parents never had money to buy soap, shampoo, or even pay the utility bill. And, well, thanks to the 700 club, I..sniff...sniff...I realized you don't have to wash yourself, because God loves you anyway, even if you are a stinker. So with me today is my fellow stinkpot who will talk about his new book "Smelling the Irish Coffee: An Alcoholic's Guide to Bad Hygeine and Jesus"...Man you stink!..but we love you and God loves...Poor Wretch

"Sometimes my father would get so wasted from glue sniffing that all he could do was stand in a cold shower to ease the pain in his head, while yelling about Nietzsche being right. Then, Billy would take over the cartooning even though he couldn't draw for shit. Chip off the old block, y'know? Anyway, my mother would submit this drivel, and America found it adorable. Small wonder I ended up slaughtering those nuns, huh?" -- Jeffy "Curling Iron" Keane, the San Quentin InterviewsVice Pope Doug
"We're back! Today's topic deals with grown adults who're compelled to draw like children. Tell me, Dr. Matthews, just what kind of emotional void are they trying to fill?"Dofang

Bil Keane, beloved creator of The Family Circus cartoon series, today announced on the Geraldo show, his long standing homosexual relationship with a man identified only as Roy. His wife and children did not view the program, but were informed later by an hysterical neighbor. When Keane returned home, he was castrated by his wife Thelma, with a pair of pruning shears. He was rushed to Mercy Hospital in critical condition. Next Up: Sports.Vice Pope Doug
...so, I'm offering this check for ten thousand dollars for the creator of the "Dysfunctional Family Circus." Or, for just his disembodied head, I'll make it fifteen thousand!Kurt L.
Let me answer those charges: No, caller, I do not abuse my children during the production of "Family Circus!" Sure, sometimes I'll beat them, or starve them, until they do something cute... but that's only when I'm pushing a deadline! Listen, dammit, that's standard practice in this industry! You want abuse, go ask Charles Schulz how he treats those "Peanuts" kids, and get OFF MY BACK!!!Kurt L.
