Today's installment of Recycled FC is yet another gag that lazy Jeffy has recycled TWICE!
The first appearance of the gag appeared on April 15, 1983.
The original caption was...
Billy:
"I think it has a child-proof top"

Then the gag was initially recycled on March 25, 2017. Billy's caption then was...
"I think this one came with a child-proof top"
https://www.newspapers.com/clip/98624332/tampa-bay-times/
Clearly lazy Jeffy has run out of new ideas given that we have yet to see any original ideas this year. Honestly, I wish this strip was better off retired after Bil died.

Today's FC recycled art from June 18, 1977. The original caption:
Jeffy:
"Shall I tell Mr. Ferrell not to mow his lawn 'cause you want to sleep?"

And once again for Today's installment of Recycled FC, Lazy Jeffy resorts to using a strip that has been twice recycled.
The first instance was from June 18, 1977.

Then, the same gag was recycled again 40 years later on July 1, 2017. This time Jeffy's caption was changed to:
"Should I tell Mr. Ferrell not to mow his lawn 'cause you're tryin' to take a nap?"

Once again Lazy Jeffy. QUIT TRYING TO RECYCLE GAGS TWICE JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL OUT OF NEW IDEAS!!!!!
And once again, Lazy Jeffy resorts to using an FC gag that has been twice recycled.
The first appearance of the gag appeared on July 9, 1983.

And then it was recycled again on July 4, 2017 with pretty much the same art and dialogue.

When will Lazy Jeffy ever admit that he's clear out of new ideas?!?!?!?

Today's FC used recycled art from more recent times - October

The caption was exactly the same.
--------
Judge Parker, One Big Happy, comics you can read
- Name three things that used to be in Cincinnati you can now
find in Atlanta
And I thought that donkey/elephant cartoon in the recycled from
1988 Family Circus strip on November 4, 2016 was vintage 1960's
or earlier!
Today's FC used recycled art (with a tweak to Thel's hair) from
October 30, 1976.
The caption was slightly altered. The original was:
Dolly: "We're fixing you breakfast. Which do you like - Sugar
Whoops or Popsie Wheat Stars?"

I wonder why "Popsie Wheat Stars" was unacceptable in 2016 if they're going to make up cereal names?
Looks like “Poopsie”?
Or maybe it was purely typographic, if the type size and copy space are invariant.

John W. Kennedy
"The blind rulers of Logres
Nourished the land on a fallacy of rational virtue."
-- Charles Williams. "Taliessin through Logres: Prelude"
The caption was verbatim, except for one word:
Dolly:
"Bein' a grandmother is easier than bein' a mother 'cause you get more time off."
Well for the second time in a couple of days, Lazy Jeffy has used a Family Circus gag that has been twice recycled.
to
The first appearance of the gag occurred on March 27, 1995.
Then the gag was first recycled on November 2, 2017 with Dolly's caption changed to:
"We have to be quiet in church, in libraries, and when Daddy's team is losing"

Seriously when will papers realize that Lazy Jeffy is fresh out of new ideas?!?! When will newspapers drop this strip the same way they got rid of Dilbert?
