Ah, I'd read the funnies in the paper more often if it had more stuff like this.

That's actually a great representation of my childhood in the 80s. Every summer at me grandmother's my cousins and I pretended we were a new generation descended from our characters the year before, drawing maps of the 8 acre pasture and using trash can lids as shields.

Ahem, the "spot" is actually the family jewels. Good place to aim for though.

While it is really funny, I would suggest that whoever made it be careful when using copyrighted material. If Bill Keane ever found out, he might not be as amused.

While I do agree in principal, as copyrights are serious business, this sort of thing has been done for years, usually tongue-in-cheek. I've seen some that are good, like making Peanuts actually funny (much like Family Circus). It's when it's done for profit that clearly it oversteps the line. For example, the stupid car decals of Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes). As Bill Watterston wryly commented, "I clearly miscalculated how popular it would be to show Calvin urinating on a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Motor_Company logo."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes#cite_note-amiv-18
