Since 1960, the newspaper comic strip The Family Circus has delivered cutesy malapropisms and observations from its cast of adorable kid characters. And for just as long, it’s been relentlessly mocked as cloying and sentimental. But MacArthur Genius Grant-winning cartoonist Lynda Barry is willing to get into fisticuffs with anyone who says a bad word about the strip.
