Oh my God, the Chronicle dumped "Family Circus" today, replacing it with the much hipper "Dennis the Menace." Goodbye Billy, goodbye Jeffy, goodbye P.J. Oh, what shall I read now for my for my cutting-edge comic satire? Marmaduke?

The sad thing is that I'll never see what I so desperately want to see out of that cartoon- the spin-off comic where the kids from "The Boondocks" show up. Like "the Jeffersons" only in reverse.

Oh yeah, imagine the hilarity as Billy starts wearing the backwards baseball cap and bling-bling jewelry. Or Jeffy calling Dolly a 'ho. And Dolly walking around with belly button ringing showing out of her baby T, low-cut rider jeans, and thong?
