"The death of Bill Keane earlier this year robbed the world not only of Billy, Dolly, Snoopy and the whole Family Circle gang, but also of one of the kindest, gentlest Marxist theorists of our time.

Every brilliant morsel of a cartoon was steeped in vivid wit as well as subtle social satire...never had Bill Keane's genius been more apparent than in "Daddy's Cap is on Backwards."

Never before has one hand with a pen stuck in it made such poignant yet veiled statements on timely subjects such as courtly love, genetic tampering, death on the playground, AIDS, truancy and more..."

Okay, WAIT a minute. Bil Keane isn't dead, he has nothing to do with Snoopy, and there's no way this book could be considered "an epic narrative of male bonding in easy cartoon form."

Mischief first struck Amazon's home-grown "customer reviews" sometime in 1999, when prankster fans of the Dysfunctional Family Circus site took their act on the road. "They cannot be reading these," one fan realized. "I have too much faith in humanity to think a sentient being is actually approving these reviews before they are posted."

Not only did everyone learn a valuable and heart-warming lesson about the reliability of anonymous online message boards. Their surreal online grafitti proved again that no matter what your corporate aspirations are, there's no guarantee that your site won't be visited by a pack of plucky pranksters.
