How does Bill Keane keep coming up with this stuff?! Every day, day after day, they just keep getting fresher and funnier! I just tried to find some good examples to link to, but they’re all so good…how do I choose? After a couple minutes going through the archive my sides hurt so bad, I thought they were going to split! Oh, man…
Today’s got me laughing so hard that I knocked over a glass of milk. My mom asked who spilled it and I said, “Not me!” GET IT?!?! Oh, that Bill Keane. Will he ever run out of ideas?
It looks like Bil Keane was actually going for a more “Dysfunctional Family Circus” bent in the beginning. Take a look at this one–that caption would be at least a yellow, and probably green. They call him “Daddy”, but it doesn’t even look like the Daddy we all know and love today. Could it actually be…Uncle Roy?
This one’s a doozy, too! (I don’t remember that picture on the DFC. I suspect that Spinn didn’t use it because it would be too easy!)
You know those Sunday panels where one of the kids makes some roundabout journey, with a dotted line showing every distracting stop along the way? Let’s put Billy on the U.N. weapons inspection team! It’d make a great Sunday panel.
Keane claims his father knocked the “L” out of him when he was young. One of the few funny things Keane has said or done (although Channel Chuckles wasn’t that bad).
