The bare minimus on The Family Circus Maximus

In the process of coining new words and concepts (soydust being a favorite, along with optical wireless) and generating hip new jargon for with-it teens, we here at the Mt. Palomine Institute of Mysteries often come across fun ideas that are so obvious we assume someone else must have previously made hay with them. A few articles back we alluded to a cartoon titled Family Circus Maximus. A day later, during a break, an intern searched through the "Urther" Interknit via an illegal attachment we wired into the Peepergate and she found the above, at the site below. Credit where credit is due.

Our own effort (way up top) was meagerer and dryerer but slightly more idiomatically Roman in its deadpan thinking (more like the original cartoon in that way too)--there's just something about Ancient Rome (and The Family Circus) that eludes belly-laughs.
