Godsauce Alters This Week's Family Circus

This Sunday edition was too epic to fit properly into a photo post on tumblr.

More alterations after the jump...

Twin Peaks S01E03: Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer

A couple of days ago Godsauce gave us a great primer on how David Lynch depicts society and his characters: on the surface we see an exaggerated depiction of “normal” life, superficial at the surface level. Beneath the veneer, though, his protagonists discover a depth – and darkness – that seems bottomless. Likewise, Godsauce pointed out, his lead characters discover the same complexity and breadth can be found within themselves.

Twin Peaks: Traces to Nowhere

Greetings, friends! I apologize for the tardiness and sloppiness of this post, but I have been quite busy with stuff.

I was asked to write this piece about the first proper episode of Twin Peaks because of my longstanding reputation as the world’s foremost David Lynch scholar (nope). While it is true that I have written some delightfully undergraddy shot-by-shot analyses of Lynch films, specifically Blue Velvet and Lost Highway, I must confess that there are a few embarrassing gaps in my Lynch experience, one of which is that I have not seen all of Twin Peaks. I have seen the first few episodes, including the extended feature-film version of the pilot that Lynch made just in case the show wasn’t picked up, but I don’t really know what is going to happen. The good news is that any spoilers contained herein will be lucky guesses!

On to the business at hand!

Godsauce Alters This Week's Family Circus

It was an old springtime ritual in which all of the neighborhood children got off the bus and kicked water on Old Jim, passed out drunk in a puddle from when one of the neighborhood parents sprayed the hose in a futile attempt to get him to move. Sometimes there was vomit, and sometimes there was blood, but there were always good times and happy memories to be made.

There were a lot of bonus comics this week. More alterations (including a bonus Cathy that is one of my new favorites) after the jump...

This alteration was chosen by Scotchka out of a couple of versions I made. Over the course of the week, I have grown to really like it, but my favorite of the week was made by Constantinople, and is after the jump...

Pet Seminary by Godsauce's Little Baby Brother

I know that I am kind of pulling a scorched earth thing with this video, but my little brother made it, and I am in it, and I am super proud of him, and I want everybody to see it and love it and recommend it to other people and other websites, because I love him, and I think he has done a really amazing job with his friends in making this great video.

Some background info: this is a fake grindhouse trailer make as a part of a contest for the upcoming full length version of "Hobo with a Shotgun", which itself started as a fake trailer on the movie grindhouse. My brother is the guy with the ridiculous fake mustache. Also, the cat in the exorcism scene is Steve McQueen, who is better known on the internets as "MacGyver Cat".

Guess which character I play! No cheating!

Thank you for your indulgence. Now make everyone you know watch my brother's video!

Godsauce Alters This Week's Family Circus

Sometimes Bil Keane makes this difficult, and sometimes he makes it easy.

Godsauce Alters This Week's Family Circus

Today's edition is my favorite of the week, because it has a subtlety that is often lacking in these alterations. On the other hand, if you don't pay attention to what's going on, it's easy to miss the joke. Dolly hates seeing Jeffy getting all the attention.

More Family Circus alterations and bonus comics from http://familycircus.tumblr.com/ after the jump!

Godsauce Alters Today's Family Circus on Tumblr

Since it seems that the consensus is against the daily updates here, I will be doing a weekly comics rundown on Sundays from now on. For those of you who enjoy reading the daily alterations, they will continue to be posted every day on my new tumblr: http://familycircus.tumblr.com. Please hit the heart and reblog them to show your support.

Godsauce Alters Today's Family Circus

It has recently been suggested that this feature is updated too often. I think that once a day is reasonable, but I've posted more often recently because of requests. It was proposed that I only post once a week, but others have said that they enjoy reading this every morning. Perhaps those people were just being polite. I don't know. Please use the comment section to give your thoughts. Should I continue to do this daily and include any bonus comics in the daily posts, or should I do it weekly, or should I just quit doing it altogether?
