Do you remember Beetle Bailey, that old comic strip about a slacker army guy and his sergeant. Remember how the sergeant used to swear up a storm, but in those ambiguous character swear words (#$@%@^!@)?

Oddly enough, or perhaps not odd at all, I hear actual swear words when reading the comics now.

Now that I'm 30, it's just weird to know that there's one more piece of innocence that I've lost.
Does anyone else hear the f-bomb when they read the funny pages?

i totally #!%!#$@ get what you are saying. the only good thing about the family circus is when they show up as guests in the pearls before swine strip. they swear and have addictions. i think billy is a klepto.
