That is so sad. Family Circus is the comic I have read most consistently since I was kid.

Sad....Family Circus was definitely one of the most unique comics and always felt reflective of a simpler time.

I am so sorry to hear that. Glen Keane, his son is an amazing artist for Disney. Among other things, he was the supervising animator for Ariel, Beast, Alladin, Pocahontas, Tarzan.(according to wiki - i just remembered Pocahontas and Tarzan) I met him once around 1989, but I didn't know who he was. I went to his house to pick up his daughter for a youth group event when we lived in CA. He was very nice, but that was my only encounter with him.

I thought Family Circus was lame, until I had a family of my own. Then it became one of my favorites. Funny how your perspective can change.

RIP.

I have always loved "Family Circus" I have a few books of the comics and the Chrsitmas, Valentines Day and Easter specials on VHS.
