As noted in this recent More Messages blog, I’ve received plenty of tips about great websites devoted to newspaper cartoons since the publication of a column about the general unfunniness of today’s funnies. Another one worthy of a visit is a feature Westword contributor Cory Casciato mentioned in a comment affixed to the earlier piece: The Nietzche Family Circus, in which a panel from the ultra-creaky Bil and Jeff Keane retro-fest is paired with a quote from the severe 19th century German philospher Friedrich Nietzsche.
