5.0 out of 5 stars Another clue and one step closer to universal domination, March 24, 2010

This review is from: Pick Up What Things? (Mass Market Paperback)

Hello friends. I am still busy trying to decypher the mysteries of the cryptic messages of Bil Keane's so called "Family Circus" cartoon books. I am writing this from a public library in the next county because even though I still feel it is my duty to inform the public, I know my home is being monitored by Bil's imp Jeffy.

After successfully cracking the code of "Daddy has his hat on backwards", I discovered this title was the next step towards learning the true intentions of Bil Keane. For those of you who have not kept up with my research, the most important thing for you to realize is that "Bil Keane" is not what it seems. Rearrange the letters of this acrynom and you get "I Bael KNE". Bael as you know is one of the seven prince demons of hell who rule under Satan. It was only through an old medival Latin Bible that I found the term "KNE" it is a Latin abbreviation for "Knonus Neciti Enum". Roughly translated into modern English, this phrase means "Souls become now lines." I have concluded that not only is "Bil Keane" one of hell's rulers, but his aim is to gather as many souls as possible. Not to burn in a Lake of Fire for his lord Satan, but to actually transform them into the impish devils found in Family Circus books!!!

(I had to get up and move to another computer after wandering around the biographies. There was a suspicious character reading a newspaper behind me. I am back now.)

To continue. I shudder now with the very realization of what is really afoot. Not only does Bael draw in Phoenix (the actual gateway portal of Hell), but his drawings are not infact actual drawings. He actually guards Hell's gateway and waits for lost souls of the dead. He then grabs them somehow and transforms them, and forever seels them on a page of one of his Satanic books while fooling the world to believe he is just a senile cartoonist who has lost all touch of reality thinking that it is still 1953. Nothing could be further from the truth. Bael plans for all humanity to be trapped in little comic books that end up being burned, discarded, or read endlessly at old age homes. The following will shock many of you, but believe me, nothing you feel can even compare to the sadness and shock I felt at my discovery.

My Great Aunt Thelma wasborn in 1924. She died unexpectedly the VERY SAME YEAR this book was published. On page 24 (corresponding with the day she was born), there is the usual round circle with a drawing of Dolly talking to "Mommy" or in reality "Thel". (* For those of you that do not know the 'T' is silent, and "Mommy" is really "Mistress". So the mother figure you see in these books is actually "The Mistress of Hell")

* To read more read the review of "Dolly Hit me Back"

Now in the cartoon, Dolly and "Thel" are at the seashore and Dolly asks innocently "How does God flush the toilet?". Amusing to an 80 year old, half senile Catholic woman living in an assisted living retirement home, but no one else. But this cartton caught my attention and I was terrified by what I actually saw upon closer examination. In the ocean, right above "Thel's" shoulder are sets of squiqqly lines, but when turned 90 degrees the letters T, I, and D can faintly be seen. TID pestered me for days as I tried to decipher the true meaning of what Dolly was saying. Then I broke the code.

The first letter of each word are taken out and by using the "Eqixum" code pattern. The second, third, fifth, and sixth accented syllables are brought back to their negetive amount, and then by simply resetting the letters to Greek, the message "Hell does go forever Thelma O'Conner" was clear. My Aunt's name was Thelma O'Conner. The TID in the ocean stands for "Thelma is doomed", and now my poor aunt has to spend eternity standing before Hades sea with The Mistress of Hell in the form of a fat, pony tailed, monster with a misshapen head.

If you have any relatives that died in 1974, please contact me. I might be able to find them in this book. They will no doubt be drawn as one of the demon spawn of "Bael" and "The Mistress of Hell". If you wish to know the fate of your deceased loved ones, I can help you. All I ask is for your support and to make people aware that Bil Keane is actually a Satanic Demon.

I must go now, but I will be back after I discover more secrets of the Apocolypse that is certainly upon us.

5.0 out of 5 stars I recognize my daughter in the antics of the "circus" children, February 7, 2009

This review is from: Pick Up What Things? (Mass Market Paperback)

My parents subscribed to the Des Moines Register when I was young and "The Family Circus" was one of their feature cartoons. I loved it, Keane was able to capture the joy and frustrations of family life in a way that few others could. Therefore, reading this book was a trip back to my childhood, viewed through the lens of a parent. That altered view made the cartoons even more entertaining as I recognized my daughter in many of the actions of the children of the "Circus." She too was lovable and frustrating when she was young, often at the same time.
