When I first started this blog, I posted a few times about people putting kids on leashes. Here, we see that the iron fist of fascism has come to the Family Circus.
What the hell was Jeffy doing that was so wrong as to warrant the leash? He's not even in kindergarten! And yet, he gets reined in after showing natural curiousity, enthusiasm, and energy.
This is the world that children are growing up in now. The message is clear: don't try to act up at all, or you get the leash. Why didn't Bill Keane just show the dad in Family Circus sedating poor little Jeffy? You know: "Who wants to take their Ritalin?"
"Not Me!"
