This is a well-written article about Bil and Jeff Keane and the Family Circus. They both have made this a very popular cartoon that appeals to a wide audience.

Thank you for sharing 'Family Circus' with us. I never knew anything about Bil Keane or Jeff, other than he was a character in the comic strip. I also have a few short 'Family Circle' videos, one on Christmas and one on Easter. I used to share them with my first graders before out classrooms were censored. I enjoyed reading.

Comment from jim vecchio
I loved this non-fiction account of "Bil Keane". When I lived in CT, there was a comic strip museum in Greenwich which I visited on occasion. Many comic artists would appear there. I used to read "Family Circus" daily many years ago when I worked for a newspaper. It's a good thing I'm not a regular reader now. I'm the "Kiss of Death" to comic strips. I started reading "Our Boarding House With Major Hoople" and that strip ended. I was a regular reader of "Mark Trail" and his trail ended. I forwarded scripts to a comic publisher and that company went bankrupt. So, I better stay away from "Family Circus".

Very interesting! Very well written and informative article with an extensive Author Note. I used to rush to get to the Family Circle cartoon as it always made me laugh. It felt like a little mystery at first and I enjoyed that.
Nest wishes,
