What are family friendly comics?

I did a search on the Internet, looking for some, but I was disappointed mostly. Top hits that had links that contain dark, evil-looking characters, things that really corny, but the family is, well, cheesy. Does anyone besides me, the definition of "family" does not include figures dark, sinister, women in tight clothing, poor, horrible monsters, or, on the other end of spectrum, something as corny as it may slap some butter on it and nibble the kernels off?

I grew up reading lots of peanuts, so I'm of a larger crop. However, my children enjoy all the Peanuts comic strip, so I'm thinking the Peanuts gang is the position of the test of time. Call me old fashioned, perhaps, but when I think of "family," I get the images of Charlie Brown and Snoopy, Calvin and Hobbes, Garfield, etc. Although there characters used (as Lucy) and the antics of these, I consider them family. I will explain this in Part 2 of this Article. I know some think that Christian parents Calvin and Hobbes Calvin is unacceptable because it can be a putter. But, well, let's be realistic about the behavior of children. And while some of them is not edifying some of it is hilarious. This is also addressed in Part 2.

The last comic I think it fits the comic strip, "Carl and Ben … and Beeky ", a strip on a typical child of 11 years of age, however, bear a naive business that has its own coffee stand, and a very intelligent bird build a nest inventive things flying. Yes, there are some pranks and antics, but it is just good, clean and fun material.

What is the definition of family?

After doing an Internet search for comics to the family and the search comics grim-looking figures, characters dressed in tight, revealing clothing, profanity, slapstick, pranks, insulting humor, I decided to come up with what I think is a very good test of the family:

• Are you afraid of a child? (Though not a comic, I'll use the following as an example of "fear." When I used to see the Wizard of Oz as a child, the first plans of the evil witch and her evil laugh scared me to death. Even the guards monkey as creepy to me. I had to close my eyes and I could not see the whole movie.)
• "It goes against biblical teachings (eg about modesty)?
• Does crude language or blasphemy?
• Does it contain dark themes?
• Is there evil intent?
• Are there sexual issues? (Yes, sex is part of life, but not when you're a child.)
• Are you in an embarrassing position and / or your child as you read together?

If the answer is yes to any of these, then it may not be familiar.

What about slapstick and mischief?

Read about this topic in Part 2, dealing with slapstick and comic mischief in the family.
