    The Nancy one was lame. You've got the sexgoddess Aunt Fritzi around and you try to make Nancy look sexy?

    EPIC FAIL #comicmashups

    The Gary Larson Dark Side one was hilarious. Side note - this gallery really showed off the limitations with the image system here. I'd rather just have normal image links so I can tab them all out and read them full size a lot quicker than waiting for them to stretch open then load the next page. It's been an annoyance for a long time. #comicmashups

    Stilt-Man for the win. Although, I must say, these are surprisingly good depictions of the original strips overall - most of them do have the right sort of humor. Or, as we all know, "humor", in the case of the Family Circus. #comicmashups

    @cletar: The parody obviously...

    For all intents and purposes Family Circus is supposed to be funny, which actually makes it the most depressing comic strip ever.

    @Erinaceus: Then you missed the internet meme of the last decade, "Dysfunctional Family Circus," where readers would submit new captions for the strip (invariably a few would involve incest). The editors had to take down the site for copyright infringement, I believe, but I think there's still archives around on the web.
    Or maybe you hadn't found DFC particularly funny? Forgivable. #comicmashups

    @AngeloD: I've heard of DFC, but have never been able to find it to read it.

    The only parody I've been able to read is the above-linked "Garfield Minus Garfield".

    @AngeloD: I love the disclaimer: " Please note that this feature has nothing to do with the actual Family Circus comic, and is not authorized by Bil Keane, his owners, or maintainers. If you're looking for the real Family Circus, proceed to King Features and read as little of this as possible before you do yourself irreparable harm."

    Thanks! #comicmashups
