actually, when it started, the Family Circus was fairly daring for the time and the comics pages. take a look at the comic that is used to illustrate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Family_Circus
I have The Family Circus Treasury; it was a Scholastic Book selection when I was 8 or 9 ;-) And many of the earliest comics were Inappropriate.
It was really only about the time that his kids became teens but he'd frozen them as 1 to 6 year olds that he started to create uninspired crap (you see the same thing in other family comics, like For Better or for Worse).
