I will close the "More Family Circus recycling" thread to start a thread on 2018 FC episodes that were recycled.

Today's FC recycled art from January 10, 1998 (let's see what Tampa had, Jimmy). The original caption:

Dolly:
"They're both asleep, but Daddy's purring louder than Kittykat."

Today's FC recycled art from December 4, 1974. Aside from Dolly's dress being tweaked, it was identical from the original (the dialogue was exactly the same).

BTW, there was an ad promoting Dear Basketball (whose writer wasn't even born yet in 1974!) It's on go90.com.

Beating Brian to this, today's January 6, 2018 Family Circus strip has recycled art from a circa late December 1977-early January 1978 post Christmas Family Circus strip and the original caption went "Look, there's our Easter baskets, can we get them out now?"

It was from January 2, 1978. The late Tampa Times was not carrying FC then.

Beating Brian again: Regarding January 8, 2018: Is today's January 8, 2018 Family Circus recycled art from a 1981 strip with a Thel hair tweak for "Will you sing me a luvabye" but with a new caption?

The caption was: "Can you sing me a luvabye?" It was from April 28, 1981 (when it was in the Cincinnati Post, Cleveland Press, Pittsburgh Press, Philadelphia Bulletin, Washington Star (which would fold three months later), Tampa Times and Indianapolis News).

Beating Brian to this again, today's Family Circus comic strip from January 9, 2018 has recycled art from a late 1970's Family Circus strip (I think) and the original caption went "There are 21 pieces in a loaf, right, Mommy?"

At that point, the Daily Tampa Times dropped FC on March 3, 1975 and it wouldn't resurface again until July 31, 1978 (although the Tribune still carried Sunday FC during that time).

Beating Brian to this again: For the 9th. day in a row we have recycled Family Circus art in today's January 12, 2018 Family Circus strip, once again from 1975 today and the original caption went "Here, Kittycat, here girl!"

Even recycled Family Circus art can be edited at least 1 character to cut costs?

As a bonus with this clip, I included "Beetle Bailey" (R.I.P. Mort) and "Ziggy" just because. "Beetle" would still be in what was the St. Petersburg Times before they foolishly dropped it for the revived "Pogo" in January of 1989 (and the new "Pogo" would wind up lasting three months!).

Two years later, a devastating baseball strike cost people a memorable MLB season (no World Series). Today, in 2018, a seven-year-old doesn't know what a baseball card is; they want soccer merchandise (look what happened here!)

Today's FC recycled art from January 24, 1989 (two days after the Bengals lost Super Bowl XXIII), when it ran in the Cincinnati Post, Pittsburgh Press, Indianapolis News and Tampa Tribune. The original caption:

Ah yes. Not long after the Times dropped "Beetle Bailey" for "Pogo" (and Times readers wouldn't see Beetle again until they bought out the Trib 27 years later).

FWIW the Tribune ran "Pogo" until August 6, 1989 when "Bloom County" retired (replacing them with "The Fusco Brothers" and "Sibling Revelry"). The Trib did away with "Crock" when "Pogo" started.

BTW Brian. I ran across Clearwater Sun archives.

https://pinellasmemory.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p15989coll6

From best as I recall, they ran the daily FC from 6/28/1983 (a Tuesday) until the paper's end on 7/27/1989.

Yes. They trained in Tampa back then, as they set out for their eventual first of back to back World Series titles.'

Saturday's FC recycled art from February 13, 1982 (Carla's 14th birthday), whenit was in the Cincinnati Post, Tampa Times, Cleveland Press, Pittsburgh Press and Indianapolis News.

Today's FC recycled art from February 21, 1992, when it was in the Cincinnati Post, Tampa Tribune and Indianapolis News. The original caption:

I included "Farcus" because I believe it was making its' debut in the paper (in place of "Herman"). The Tribune would bring back "Herman" some five years later, while the Times never considered bringing him back until the Tribune buyout of 2016.

That means for the daily FC, there were six recycled FC strips from 1970 to 1992 - and three had verbatim captions from when they originally ran.

The dialogue was exactly the same as when it appeared in the Cincinnati Post, Cleveland Press, Pittsburgh Press, Washington Star, Philadelphia Bulletin, Indianapolis News, and Tampa Tribune.

The guy who wrote Dear Basketball was four months old - and hadn't probably touched his first basketball!

To see what I looked like (with shortened hair) in 1984 (well, this was taken in the summer of 1983):

http://digital.cincinnatilibrary.org/digital/collection/p16998coll3/id/75517/rec/1




Incidentally, this is the 14th out of the last 15 daily FC known to use recycled art. It is the third straight day that the caption was the same as the original.


For the month of February, there were eighteen known examples of FC recycling (37 so far in 2018).

That makes 19 of the last 21 FC daily episodes known to have recycled art. There was another Thel hair tweak, and the original had "DAY AND NIGHT TELLER" instead of ATM. The original caption:

Because it wasn’t a hurricane, it had no name.

You left out the Pittsburgh Press this time. Of course, thanks to the P-G's comics changes, FC has been no more for a week and a half!

Hush hush, sweet Stormy
Stormy, don't you cry
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
He'll love you till he dies

And every night after he shall die
Yes every night when he's gone
The wind will sing you this lullaby
Sweet Stormy was loved by Don
