billy’s jeans

It’s hard for me to even begin to address what’s effed-up about today’s edition of The Family Circus:

Billy, you Thai-undies-wearing twerp, do me a favor and call me the day there’s a meeting of the United Nations that includes the poor underaged laborers who are getting pennies a day to make most of the clothes we wear. Jeff-and-Bil Keane, YOU bastards should know better. You know exactly WHY Billy’s togs are made elsewhere in the world; why the HELL are you glorifying it?

Also, the pronouncement (from the pure mouth of a 6-year-old no less) that clothes are made in other parts of the world but our “favorite stuff” is made RIGHT HERE IN THE USA is the basest culturally biased bullshit that can fit in a Sunday comic.

ALSO, for the sake of common sense, couldn’t you at least have made it so that his shirt that says “MADE IN THE USA” was actually MADE IN THE USA instead of somewhere in the South Pacific, as it appears to be based on the first panel?

Please add this to the “Campaign to Move ‘The Family Circus’ to the op-ed page” file.
