That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 02, 2018

Since the Coleman family could afford to send only one child to school, 9 year old Alfred was responsible for handling all of the family correspondence.

Little Timmy declaring that there is one too many “yucky girls” in the family and that the “men” have taken a vote to send Clara on her way.

Back in the days before tv, even before radio, families had to read the latest episode of Superman.

“All the men in the family acknowledge that all the women’s accusations are true, and apologize. Will you cook dinner NOW?”

The first recorded incidence of a child divorcing his family.

Dr. Doogie Howser, informing the family that if Grandpa’s head gets much larger, it might explode.

Everyone, even the family dog, is embarrassed by Kevin’s misogynistic rant. They sit quietly and let him speak because, well, he’s a ginger so what else could be expected.

That girl in the orange dress being consoled seems to be the selection for butter churning now that Eric will be gone for a while.

Being the only one in the family able to read, young Arthur was eager to inform them he had been contacted by a young prince from Nigeria and that their luck was about to change.

After receiving the results of his DNA test, Richard discovers he is adopted.

“Bad news, Mum an’ Da..the rabbit died.”

The DNA test definitely proved that Red was milkman’s kid.

Now that I’ve become the Apprentice, you’re all fired!

Wait! That kid is worth a plow mule? Did someone check his teeth?

Richard is thrilled to announce to his family that he finally got a report card with a high grade of D.

The local parish has decided to commit Jebediah until they can convince him that that puppet isn’t really real.

all have info about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. This is the first work by him used here.

The Millers really got the short end.

“Due to overcrowding and having eight people sharing two bedrooms, four of you must report to the euthanasia station on Friday.”

Eric was going to become a free agent and the family wasn’t going to be able to keep him. The Millers are rich.

“Mummy, Aunt Emma, I have a petition signed by Pa and Uncle Earl calling for your removal. The 20-year-old Jones twins, Roxey and Bambi, have been nominated to fill the positions you’ll be vacating.”

In the days before TV, entertaining the family was one of the children’s jobs… It looks like nerdy Arthur isn’t getting any allowance this week after his reading of the business section.
