'''Todd Gaines:''' ''[[Bile Fascination|I hate it, but I'm compelled to read it.]]''|Dialogue from the movie ''Go''}}
In its literal form, Bil Keane's ''The Family Circus'' (originally ''The Family Circle'') is about the innocent childhood adventures of young siblings Billy, Dolly, Jeffy, and infant P.J. Occasionally, parents Bil and Thel will contribute some insightful comment about the children's exploits, like when they all were imitating ''[[Waynes World|Wayne's World]]'' and Bil says "Makes sense to me. [[NOT!]]!"
Other characters include random neighbor children, pets, extended family members [[Spirit Advisor|(many of whom are dead)]], and various [[The Ghost|ghosts]] representing childhood excuses. A standard ''Family Circus'' trope is for a parent to ask the children who broke something, only for them all to say "not me"... just as a ghost named "Not Me" flees the scene, damning evidence of the crime in hand.
