Cartoonist Bil Bill Keane's Family Circus Figurines - by the giftware company Clay in Mind: FFC-5 One for the Books. 1 of 12 in the 1st Series of his Collector's Club. In original box, like new in excellent condition. Brown hair Curly-headed Middle Brother 3rd child Jeffy trying to read My First Reader Upside-down book. Others on This Site. Bil Keane's warm, humorous portraits of the intimate moments in family life, based on his own real-life family circus, have charmed readers around the world since 1960. Today, The Family Circus is the most widely syndicated comic panel in the world, appearing in 1,500 newspapers. The daily panels are routinely drawn within a circle, meant to underscore the sense of closeness between the characters. More than 60 collections of the cartoons have been published, and the panel's characters have inspired three TV specials and appeared in a wide variety of educational and public-service projects. While Keane's cartoon kids have stayed the same age, his real kids have grown up and two followed in their father's creative footsteps. Glen, who served as the model for the Billy character, is now a prominent animator for The Walt Disney Company. He designed and animated the Beast for Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast' and most recently did the brilliant animation on Tarzan. Jeff works as his dad's assistant on the comic panel. And today, nine grandchildren provide the cartoonist with a whole new generation of ideas. While his religious bent as well as his wholesome heartwarming style is inspirational to most, there are always warped individuals who see things a bit off-center, & Keene's cartoons are perfect fodder for this dysfunctional family view. To this day, you can still find examples of Family Circus parodies all over the web.
