When you have a Family Circus panel of li’l Jeffy staring longingly at a layer cake, saying, “Mommy, you wanna guess what I’m thinking about?”, things can go one of two ways.

You can change the picture:

To which Mommy sighs sadly and replies, “I know, honey, but you have to forget about our Labor Day picnic.  A lot of people accidentally ‘fall’ on things and then have to go to the hospital to have them removed.”

Or, you can change the caption:

Mommy only nodded and smiled to herself.  While Jeffy might be a whipping boy for Billy and other bullies for the rest of his life, he’d certainly be popular with the ladies.  It was a reasonable trade-off.
