Brian and Jimmy didn't mention that a May 2021 or early June 2021 FC strip which showed Jeffy using a back scratcher to scratch Kittycat's back was recycled Family Circus art from the April 28, 1971 FC comic strip.

I guess the Keane family is on a trip to a lake for the 2021 recycled vacation/event.

And what about the April 28, 1971 recycled in 2021 FC strip where Jeffy scratches Kittycat's back with a back scratcher?

I guess the trip to the lake was short lived in the recycled FC world.

The Cincinnati Post (25 cents) devoted much of Page 1 to the resignation of Secretary of State Alexander Haig. The Reds lost to Atlanta 5-2 at Riverfront Stadium. The Mini Page was devoted to July 4 and the Declaration of Independence. In the Post comics, Linus was watching a TV program that "will be repeated at the same time tomorrow...in case you fell asleep."

The Cincinnati Post (50 cents) had a high school football preview of the upcoming season. In addition, they named Carlos Snow of the Cincinnati Academy of Physical Education and Bob Crable of Moeller as the greatest high school football players of the 20th century in the Tri-State. The Reds were swept in Atlanta (they didn't win a game there all year). Britney Spears was coming to play Kings Island's Timberwolf Amphitheater tomorrow night! In the Post comics, Dilbert's cubicle was invaded by a guy who introduced him to a Mini-Me called The Little Stubborn Dumb Guy. The man who wrote Dear Basketball - and won an Academy Award for it (and that had more originality than lazy Jeffy has had all this week) - turned 21 three days earlier.

And, as I noticed when I bought a copy of the Weekend edition of the Illinois Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake/McHenry, Illinois) newspaper on Saturday July 17 that recycled 1993 Family Circus Sunday strip is "Jeff and Bil Keane" signed instead of "Bil and Jeff Keane" signed.

Isn't it time by 2022 to reboot the FC strip with a new artist soon?

The Cincinnati Post and Times-Star (10 cents) told us about the famous person who was going to join the War on Poverty...:Li'l Abner. The MLB All-Star Game was being held that day (at 1 pm ET) from the Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Minnesota. The National League won 6-5. Watch Combat tonight at 7:30 pm on Channel 12. In the Post and Times-Star comics, Snoopy got a letter that said he was going to be a published author. Snoopy wrote the same thing he had said the previous day..."It was a dark and stormy night." It was seventeen days before I was born.

And it would have been great if that 1993 FC "DOLLYISMS" Sunday strip with pics was recycled for weekdays 1 panel at a time like a 1979 Sunday "Familiar Answers" FC strip did.

The Jeffy swallowing a lightning bug with mouth open strip from 1965 recycled in 2021 is a throwback to a 1962 dialougless FC strip where Jeffy is about to swat a fly with a flyswatter but with his mouth open he swallows it! - This strip is seen in the made in 2010 IDW Family Circus 1962-1963 book.

The Cincinnati Post (25 cents) told us about a 80-degree forecast for the Queen City that day. ABC was announcing plans to show a movie about the destruction of nuclear war called The Day After, which was going to air in the upcoming television season (it wasn't aired until November 1983, when it drew big audiences). In sports, Paul Householder homered to give the Reds a win over San Diego at Riverfront Stadium. In the Post comics, Charlie Brown was upset that Sally had gotten fat by sitting on a beanbag and eating junk food (Snoopy was on the beanbag).

Also, "I'm a happy camper" was removed from Billy's baseball cap.

Now, effective tomorrow and the next 2 weeks if nothing goes worse, will there be Family Circus recycled art strips related to the 2020-2021 Tokyo Olympic games?

The Cincinnati Post (35 cents) told us that one-time Post "columnist" Pope John Paul II had started a tour of the US in Denver. He met President Bill Clinton there. The number one movie in America: The Fugitive. The number one album: the soundtrack to the movie Sleepless in Seattle. Michael Jordan's father was found dead; he would soon retire from the NBA for the first time. In the Post comics, Susie Derkins found Calvin's note. Calvin (unseen) told Hobbes about this, and they decided to make a run for it.

The Cincinnati Post (50 cents) told us on Page 1 that George W. Bush had topped $50 million in donations for his successful Presidential campaign. The Cincinnati Bengals were pushing their first round draft pick, quarterback Akili Smith, to get to speed after a long holdout. Smith bombed at QB. The countdown of the century's top sports stories continued. At Number 17 nationally: Roger Bannister's sub-four-minute mile (it didn't happen in the US). Locally: BIll Johnson, not Bill Walsh, is selected as Paul Brown's successor as Bengals coach. The Reds finally beat Atlanta 11-3 at someplace called Cinergy Field. In the Post comics, Dogbert showed Dilbert "a checklist of your most common mental errors". Dilbert then said, "It'll be a hot day in hell before you need that, my friend."

And for the second Sunday in a row it is "Jeff and Bil Keane" signed instead of "Bil and Jeff Keane" signed (Still wishing for a FC reboot in 2022 with new artists instead of Jeff Keane). Also: No 2021 Tokyo Summer Olympics references yet so far.

The Cincinnati Post (35 cents) reported that perfect game pitcher Tom Browning had been fined for an incident that took place two weeks earlier. He was fined $500 and told to be on good behavior. Speaking of which, the Reds got beat up - on Friday the 13th, no less - 14-0 at Riverfront Stadium to Atlanta. The new Friday the 13th movie was released. "The Final Friday". In the Post comics, Calvin told Hobbes that Susie had fallen for their trap - a fake letter - and they were going to throw water balloons at her. But she hadn't shown up.

The Cincinnati Post (35 cents) reported that Slick was turning 47. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was trying to break the 3600 mark. Riverbend MUsic Center had a concert starring Peabo Bryson and Kenny G. The Red were beaten at Riverfront Stadium again - 12-2 to the New York Mets. The SAT scores rose in Ohio. In the Post comics, Calvin and Hobbes held a meeting of G.R.O.S.S. - Get Rid of Slimy Girls - after their plan to attack Susie backfired. Hobbes asked Calvin if he was going to resign - and Hobbes wanted to be dictator for life. "I DIDN'T SAY I WAS RESIGNING!" Calvin screamed.

It should be known that the man who wrote Dear Basketball - an ACADEMY AWARD WINNING ANIMATED SHORT, which was more original than the last week of recycled FC has been - was going to turn 15 five days later.

The Cincinnati Post (50 cents) told us about temporary workers who get to work by telling their names and Social Security Numbers. They were paid $5..75-6 an hour. Preparations for Riverfest, the end of summer bash ending with the WEBN Fireworks, were shown as well. In sports, UC was beginning its 1999 football season, taking on Kent State at 7 pm at Nippert Stadium. The Bengals lost to Atlanta in the preseason at Cinergy Field. They went 0-4 in the preseason. In the Post comics, Catbert, evil HR director, sent an e-mail to Dilbert about how to reduce airline travel expenses.

The Cincinnati Post and Times-Star (15 cents) told us about the following day's wedding of Tricia Nixon and Edward Cox. CBS even had a special about it, which CHannel 9 aired. The Reds did the same thing that they did today - play the Cubs at Wrigley Field which aired on Channel 5. (Kids, Wrigley had no lights then.) See a movie called Zeppelin, now playing at various drive-ins. In the Post and Times-Star comics, Woodstock was hit by a croquet ball. Snoopy said that statistics show that you are safer in the air.

BTW, that caption was lifted from September 30, 1978, when it was in...you know. (Crazily, the Honolulu Advertiser ran it on September 7.)

As for July 23, 1993, the Cincinnati Post (35 cents) told us the Cincinnati Reds had defeated the expansion Florida Marlins, 7-3. The movie Coneheads opened, and two people who played Coneheads at Kings Island were interviewed. The Firm was the number one film in America. In the Post comics, Calvin climbed the ladder to use a slide - but he didn't go down. "What a dumb ride. On the hottest days, you need the heaviest pants."

The Cincinnati Post (35 cents) told us that the prime rate was going down to the lowest in two years - 15 percent. The Cincinnati Reds lost for the 66th time in 1982 - 24 more than in strike-shortened 1981 - when they lost to San DIego 8-7 at Riverfront Stadium. The new movie, Night Shift, was reviewed. In the Post comics, Linus told Charlie Brown that the owner of the vacant lot where the gang had played baseball couldn't play anymore because if someone got hurt, he could be liable. Chuck cried out, "What's happening to the world?"

The Cincinnati Post (35 cents) said that Congress had approved a budget. The Pro Football Hall of Fame was going to give gold jackets to Walter Payton, shoulda been Bengals coach Bill Walsh, Dan FOuts and Chuck Noll. The 1993 Thriftway ATP CHampionship tennis tournament was coming, and John McEnroe was going to Boris Becker's coach for the tournament. On my 28th birthday, the Reds lost in an ugly game, 11-9 to San Diego where six errors were committed. In the Post comics, Calvin told Hobbes that he likes people and he's interested in them. When Hobbes asked why, Calvin responded, "As an audience, I mean", to which Hobbes retorted, "Oh."

Mad cow disease was explained. The Reds defeated the Milwaukee Brewers, 8-2, at County Stadium. In the Post comics, Wally told a woman that her requirements document is thje biggest he had ever seen. The woman said, "You know, it's a multi-user, global system,right?" Wally said, "No, I'm not getting that." BTW, the man who wrote Dear Basketball - an Academy Award-winning short that has had more originality than FC has had the last few weeks - was two weeks away from turning 21.

The Cincinnati Post (35 cents) featured articles on Jimmy Buffett's shows at Riverbend Music Center. There was even a golf tournament for Parrotheads! The number one movie in America was The Fugitive. The Reds lost to the San Francisco Giants, 10-7, at Candlestick Park. The Reds had a 7-4 lead at one point. In the Post comics, Calvin and Hobbes saw Susie pick up Calvin's message. Calvin wanted to know what was wrong with her. When Hobbes said that she wasn't "paying attention to us", Calvin said "That's inconceivable! Who wouldn't be interested in everything we do?"
