[edit] Summary

The comic strip Family Circus from 1 April 1997, part of the Comic strip switcheroo. Drawn for this date by Scott Adams, artist and writer of Dilbert. Copyright 1997 by Bil Keane, Inc. Original image was a GIF file, converted to PNG by the uploader.

In this strip, Billy and Dolly are sitting at the table with their mother and Dogbert. Their mother is sporting two spikes in her hair like the Pointy-Haired Boss from Dilbert and reading from a sheet of paper: "My consultant says that if Billy can 'work cuter, not harder,' we won't need to downsize again." Billy is looking wide-eyed at his mother, and Dolly is thinking "I hate mommy's new hairdo."

Fair use rationale: This image is used to illustrate one of the one-to-one switches held by comic strip cartoonists as part of the "Comic strip switcheroo" held on April Fool's Day, 1997. The strip is used for informative and educational purposes only, and is not intended to infringe on the rights of the copyright owner.
