We all know Family Circus is horrible, but yesterday's strip threw me off:

Dear god, Imagine if he saw a chaos marine(Or wait.. Are BR a Chaos chapter according to terra? Im not quite sure..)

Lolwut is this? I also found a Warhammer reference in The Dead by Charlie Higson, and was recently published.

Picked up a couple of days ago and had a phrase that describes a character's old toys "...Legos, half-painted Warhammer figures..." I thought it was a nice touch, can't really go on further without a huge spoiler alert. It's about zombies (people 16 and older become diseased and eat kids as a 'medicine'

**d-usa**

I get it.

Aww man, Family Circus makes everything a little lamer by proxy :/

**Nelson**

Haha makes space marines lamer. Eat it smurfs!

Tarkus? Why not Cyrus?

Then, rather than "Trick or Treat!" you can really scare people by saying "Let the cleansing begin!!!".

Why not Boreale? Then he could be Bald and Foolish.

**BrookM**

That can't be real. Damn.

**Surtur**

It's not real...

But I agree, should be Boreal of the BLUD RHAVEHNS!

Any actual basis for that?

It's possible the site hosting it picked up a strip it thought was official, but wasn't.

...but it's kind of unlikely, considering the numerous amount of fake Family Circus strips circulating the interwebbernets - one would think they would only pick up something they knew was legit.

Unfortunately, the main site runs two weeks behind on hosting it's official strips (likely to give some exclusivity to the publications that run it), so it's not immediately clear.

Regardless...

I find that picture frightening and confusing.

Bil Keane's grandson is over in WH40k General Discussion talking about it.

It's real.

All the syndication sites are showing the same strip for Oct. 31st, and they would recieve their copies of the strip straight for the artists. I think the effort needed to spoof whatever delivery method the artist uses to deliver their work in order to make a joke about 40K is probably not worth it.

It seems like the only reason people think it could be fake is that it mentions Warhams. The point of the comic is pretty clear, not sure why people think that it's fake.

This is the third thread I've seen made for this... That's like the same amount as the entirety of its fanbase, maybe more.

One of my favorite web comics had an opinion on this years ago.
