Family Circus recycling - 2021 thread

[Darryl H]

This is a placeholder for recycled Family Circus art strips for the 2021 year.

[jdelac...@gmail.com]

Today we have our first known Recycled FC of 2021. Today's is from January 2, 1993 (exactly 28 years ago Today!)

The original caption was...

Billy:
"Here comes some mail from last year!"

Today's installment of Recycled FC takes us back to January 11, 1982.

The art and caption are exactly the same.

The Cincinnati Post (25 cents) had a banner headline that happened for the first time the previous day and may never happen again in my lifetime: "Super Bowl, here come Bengals." The Bengals got to Super Bowl XVI by defeating the San Diego Chargers in the AFC Championship game in wind chills of 59 degrees BELOW ZERO. The Post was forecasting temperatures near freezing on Friday (four days later). If you were a woman, you can brave the cold and go to Elaine Powers (whatever happened to that?) for a 2 for 1 sale. $4.15 a month! In the Post comics, Peppermint Patty was upset that Marcie was chosen to be school patrol guard instead of her.


. (BTW, what was the high temperature in Tampa that day?)

According to Weather Underground, the high that day was 46 degrees.

Anyway, Today's installment of Recycled FC takes us back to January 12, 1982.

Once again, the art and caption were exactly the same.

The Cincinnati Post (25 cents) devoted coverage to Super Bowl XVI. Bengals punter-wide receiver Pat McInally began a diary about how he was approaching the game. Later, he would do a column that would be in the other paper. On top of the cold temperatures, four more inches of show were forecast. In the Post comics, Wee Pals had Nipper selling hot chocolate (a year later, it would be gone from here) and Andy Capp was playing soccer (he had a cigarette in his mouth - I can't imagine a Premier League player doing so today).

The Cincinnati Post (35 cents) announced that in the following day's paper, there would be a story on the 50th anniversary of the Ohio River flood that saw the highest crest reported here - 79.99 feet. The paper featured Vanna White (who would have ever thought she would still be at the Wheel of Fortune puzzle board 34 years later?) and a review of the movie Platoon (which would win the Best Picture Oscar two months later). In the Post comics, Calvin called Susie "you dumb noodleloaf" and Charlie Brown was at the eye doctor, all because he winked at the little red headed girl.

And it features in both original and recycled the old school US MAIL logo rather than the current USPS logo.

[Brian Henke]

The Cincinnati Post (35 cents) told about a boy going to school for the first time. That boy: Prince William. Dale Stevens wrote about Platoon, the eventual Best Picture winner at the Academy Awards. Calvin and Hobbes weren''t there that day, but Susie was.

The Cincinnati Post (50 cents) told us about Britney Spears. She was described as " a peach" by a spokesperson for her record label. The following Saturday, UC, Xavier and Kentucky were all playing college basketball at home. The Peanuts gang was going on a field trip to an art museum.

Today's FC recycled art from February 20, 1999, when it was in...you know.

In addition, the caption was word for word from June 3....2015, except the word "says" was in place of the "said" in the original. It was spoken by Dolly then.

I checked February 20, 1999 and it was a different FC strip. You sure about that?

And assuming Jeffy again uses a twice-recycled gag, it still infuriates me that the Tampa Bay Times got rid of "Dennis The Menace" and "Marmaduke" (the latter wound up in their special online comics page) but kept "Family Circus" (but at least they still have "Peanuts" unlike a certain Wenatchee newspaper so I can't complain too much).

As for Today's Recycled FC, it takes us back to January 14, 1982 (and I assume this was recycled only once).

The original caption was...

Jeffy:
"Mommy, tell Kittycat to turn off her claws!"

[Brian Henke]

The Cincinnati Post (25 cents) featured on Page 1 the story of Air Florida Flight 90 crashing into the Potomac River, killing 78 people. Super Bowl XVI was ten days away, and the Post ran a story about Anthony Muňoz. It was balmy compared to four days earlier...with a high of 24 degrees.

Going back to Monday, the recycled art was from February 4, 1999

The original caption was...

[Brian Henke]

The Cincinnati Post (25 cents) led off with a story about how Reagan was going to punish the Soviet Union for its handling of the situation in Poland. (At least he didn't encourage his supporters to riot.) Temperatures were going to be in the 40s for the Bengals playoff game on Sunday (a week later, it was the Freezer Bowl). On TV, CBS aired a movie called Senior Trip about high schoolers going to New York City with that hot teen star, Mickey Rooney! In Peanuts, Linus told Snoopy that the Downhill Supper Dish was not a Winter Olympic sport.

With 26 years to go, The Cincinnati Post (25 cents) reported on the deaths of four children in a house fire in Walnut Hills. They would publish a special section on the Bengals the following day. Hey, Arthur was in its 24th week in Tri-State theaters! Avoid New Year's Eve parties with the (ex-Astro) Bluebonnet Bowl from Houston on Channel 5 between Michigan and UCLA!

The Cincinnati Post (25 cents) dedicated six pages to the Freezer Bowl. Temperatures that day were balmy in comparison to the following day - 15 to 20 degrees. The Post ran a comics poll - even though Sally Forth had been in the paper for a week! Film Critic Dale Stevens wrote about the best movies of 1981. He named Warren Beatty's Reds his pick for the Best Picture Oscar (it didn't win). In the comics, Peppermint Patty told Charlie Brown about Marcie being a "patrol person."

Besides Sally Forth, and maybe Peanuts and Family Circus, what comic strips according to the Cincinnatti Post were running in the paper listed in the comics poll at the January 1982 time?

[jdelac...@gmail.com]

Somebody needs to check out the Cincinnati Post Comic Strip Index for 1982 (BTW Brian I don't see the 2006 and 2007 lineups unlike the other years you've referenced to)

As for Recycled FC, Today's was from November 29, 1978.

Thel's hair was tweaked. The captions were exactly the same.

The Cincinnati Post (15 cents) had a story about Reverend Jim Jones' days as a preacher in Elmwood Place. Yes, the guy who led 900 of his followers to their deaths preached here. Future Post "columnist" Pope John Paul II was depicted holding a child. Dorothy Hamill and the Ice Capades were at the Riverfront Coliseum!

There was another FC Thel/Billy math similarity back in 1978-1979 but it didn't dealt with candy:

Thel: "If you had two apples and I gave you five more..."
Billy: "Aren't apples sold by the pound?"

[Ted Nolan <tednolan>]

In article <a9d8f151-e602-4031...@googlegroups.com>,

Which would be clever if the problem being introduced involved buying apples.

In 1993, that name was for a pro wrestler.

The Cincinnati Post (35 cents) had Jeff Stahler covering the Clinton inauguration. He said he had looked honest, long before he said "I did not have sex with that woman." Clinton played the sax at the inaugural balls. Pete Rose said he was gambling. Again. Calvin told Hobbes that his family is dysfunctional. Hobbes said, "One of us needs to stik his head in a bucket of ice water."

Time for my first Sunday version of Recycled FC for 2021. Today's was recycled from January 17, 1971. Thel's hair was tweaked and PJ's mouth was open in the original (because he said "Lick 'poon?").

Word balloons that were in the original version...

"Can I stir something up?"

"I get to lick the icing bowl! I said it first!"

"Why are you reading it, Mommy? Didn't you learn it by heart?"

"I felt the oven and it has a high fever!"

"Was that a spoonful of medicine you put in there?" (Guessing lazy Jeffy didn't think nobody would get the Mary Poppins reference)

"Did Grandma teach you to bake or is that what you learned in college?"

"Can we taste it yet?"

"The only thing Dolly makes that's any good are mud pies."

And one word balloon was altered:

"That's not the way the Gallopin' Gourmet does it on TV" changed to "That's not the way Gordon Ramsay would do it on 'Masterchef'!"

https://www.newspapers.com/clip/68324364/tampa-bay-times/

[Darryl H]

At least they kept both "CAN I LICK THE SPOON?" word balloons rather than reducing to just one.

[Brian Henke]

January 17, 1971 was Super Bowl V. The Baltimore Colts won on a last-second field goal by former Cincinnati kicker Jim O'Brien. As for the Cincinnati Post and Times-Star, it didn't publish that day (it was Sunday of course).

The Cincinnati Post (15 cents) said in its Weekender edition told us how people like Henry Kissinger lived an extravagant lifestyle in Washington. The #1 song was The Way We Were by Barbra Streisand. The previous week's #1 had been Sixteen (incorrect title) by Ringo Starr. Pat Harmon wrote about the Super Star contest (it was The Superstars). He thought that soccer's Kyle Rote Jr. would win, and he was depicted with Reggie Jackson and get this...Pete Rose and O.J. Simpson. Jackson had signed a contract with the Oakland A's for the 1974 season worth...$135,000! For the kids out there, The Superstars featured athletes who couldn't play their sports (eg, Rose was unable to do the baseball hitting contest). Ah, the Obstacle Course!. Athletes today can't do the Superstars due to contracts prohibiting them to do anything in the off season. (A clip of O.J.'s appearance is in the Oscar-winning O.J.: Made in America documentary.) One of Entertainment Weekly's 100 greatest movies of all time - Mean Streets - was playing its final weeks at the Skywalk Cinemas. (The Scorsese movie that should have been on that list - Raging Bull.)

The "Papooses" freshmen team beat the Muskies as well. In the comics, Li'l Abner met Peter and Jane Fonda and Snoopy got a letter from Woodstock, who was at worm school. Columnist Si Cornell reported on a hospital that would no longer sell "cigarets".

Beating Brian and Jimmy to this, but today's January 28, 2021 Family Circus may or may not feature recycled art with a Thel hair tweak but a remade caption from late 1970's or early to mid 1980's: "Jack Sprat was on the Pritikin diet." (Caption tweaked in January 2021 to mention "Keto diet").

[jdelac...@gmail.com]

The Cincinnati Post (25 cents) featured four pages on the Bengals being at Super Bowl XVI, which was five days away, in Super Tuesday. Future comic strip writer (and Bengals coach at Super Bowl XXIII) Sam Wyche was depicted in those four pages as being a San Francisco 49ers assistant coach. In the Post comics, Marcie had fallen asleep and Peppermint Patty called her "The Mayor of Zonk City!"

The Cincinnati Post and Times-Star (15 cents) told us that 1970 was a deadly year on Hamilton County roads. 165 people were killed that year. The Cincinnati Royals of the NBA were going to play the LA Lakers in...Toronto. Yes, Toronto. The game wasn't seen back here because Channel 5 aired the Bob Hope Christmas Special, which drew big ratings. In the Post and Times-Star comics, Li'l Abner talked about an offer for "ONE MILLYUN DOLLARS." Jed Clampett - aka Buddy Ebsen - was coming to town to star in a play called Apple of My Eye at the old Shubert Theater.

The Post was giving away tickets to a Disney movie called A Far Off Place, which starred a young Reese Witherspoon. In the Post comics, Calvin didn't want to do homework, so he and Hobbes decided to go out. His dad was depicted as a giant one-organism, telling him to do the homework.

It should be one-eyed organism.

Today's installment of Recycled FC takes us back to March 30, 1993.

The art and caption were exactly the same.

The Cincinnati Post (35 cents) told us who won the Academy Awards the night before. Unforgiven won Best Picture, Best Director (Eastwood) and two others. The Post described the ceremony as "listless." In what was a taste of things to come, Newsweek would become available on CD-ROM. In the Post comics, Calvin used a now-outdated phone to call the public library. He was interested in graffiti and books with "popular dirty words and slogans." Calvin said, "What on Earth do they spend their money on over there?"

BTW it had been exactly one week after Fox Trot used the word "Hell". :)

Today's installment of Recycled FC takes us back to January 22, 1999.

The original caption was...

Dolly:
"Shouldn't PJ's pajamas go to the shoe repair shop?"

Today's installment of Recycled FC takes us back to January 26, 1993 (56 days before the word "Hell" was in Fox Trot).

The original caption was...

Billy (to Dolly):
"Before Mommy gave you her old bracelet, she always wore it on her WRIST."

That was why the Cincinnati Post got rid of Fox Trot. Well, the Post (35 cents) reported on how Slick was starting off his Presidency. The number one movie in America: Disney's animated version of Aladdin. The number one best selling nonfiction hardcover book: The Way Things Ought To Be by Rush Limbaugh.

Today's installment of Recycled FC takes us back to February 8, 1982.

Thel's hair was tweaked and she and Jeffy are wearing masks. The caption (said by Thel) was the same as it was during the Reagan era.

The Cincinnati Post (25 cents) told us about a bus fire in North Olmsted, near Cleveland. Four buses were destroyed, but three were saved. On TV, the UC Bearcats were to play Tulane in Metro Conference men's basketball action (and therew was a preview of the NCAAs, a month away). At the movies, the old Carousel cinema on Reading Road was showing the eventual Academy Award Best Picture winner, Chariots of Fire. In the Post comics, Snoopy was showing Woodstock a full moon (which happened that day), and told a joke. "Good jokes are wasted on birds," Snoopy commented.

Today's FC was from February 2, 1993, when it was in..you know.

The original caption:

Jeffy:
"I like this table 'cause it has curbs to park at."

At least nobody is wearing masks this time...

This Sunday's installment of Recycled FC takes us back to February 28, 1982 (one week after I turned two; Today I turn 41)

Thel's hair was tweaked and - because Darryl Heine always wants to point this out - it was signed Jeff and BIL Keane (I hate it when it's that way to be honest; another sign of being lazy).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Today's installment of Recycled FC takes us back to February 16, 1971.

Grandma Keane's look and Dolly's eyes were different. The caption was the same.

Today's installment of Recycled FC goes way back. It takes us back to February 9, 1965!

Whatever Dolly was wearing at the top of her head in the original was removed (this was 15 years before I was even born!). The caption is the exact same.

My mom's 27th birthday, and the last before I was born!

The Cincinnati Post and Times-Star (10 cents) told us about people storming the US Embassy in Moscow. UC and Xavier lost men's college basketball games the previous night - UC at Bradley and Xavier at Miami (Ohio). On TV, Channel 5 aired Hullabaloo (on the first anniversary of the Beatles' first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show) with two kids of legends - Gary Crosby and Frank Sinatra Jr.! In the Post and Times-Star comics, some girl told Charlie Brown that Snoopy was eating because he had a broken heart.

And Jeffy's winter clothes have changed as well.

Today's installment of Recycled FC takes us back to March 3, 1971.

The art looks similar. The caption almost looks similar except there was a period after "Mommy" in the original.

The Cincinnati Post and Times-Star (15 cents) said, "Maybe 7 inches of snow", as a winter storm was barreling our way. Page 1 told us about today's Johnny WOnder, which was about the various eras when men wore their hair longer.. In the Post and Times-Star comics, Sally told Charlie Brown that she failed a test about oceans. Andy Capp was playing soccer, one year before Cincinnati had its first pro team. If you wanted to stay up late, Burt Reynolds was the guest on the Dick Cavett Show!

The art is reversed. The caption was the same.

The Cincinnati Post (25 cents) told us about the grim unemployment figures for January (over nine million). Tom and Jerry were on at Channel 19 at 3:30 pm and again the following morning (I bring that up due to the Tom and Jerry movie coming out today). In the Post comics, Linus told Snoopy what he should do if he saw a rabbit in the snow, he said, "Hit him with a snowball!"

Dad Keane wasn't wearing glasses in the original. The caption was exactly the same.

The Cincinnati Post and Times-Star (15 cents) told us about the sentencing of Lt. William Calley in his role in the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War. A player named Ken Durrett wanted to play for the Cincinnati Royals of the NBA (he did in the final season of the team here)...and wanted ONE MILLION DOLLARS. In the Post and Times-Star comics, Snoopy went to Back to School Night, but was thrown out.

BTW, this is the third straight week that the daily FC has been all recycled. Like Jimmy Delach, it has replaced Get Fuzzy as the "Why is this former (Post) comic still running?"

This Sunday's installment of Recycled FC is from January 10, 1993. One of the panels of Jeffy dreaming was cut (although thedrop panel stayed).

And it is "Jeff and Bil Keane" signed instead of "Bil and Jeff Keane" signed.
