What is family circus?

Family Circus is a long-running syndicated comic strip created by cartoonist Bil Keane in 1960. The strip features a family of six: Billy, Jeffy, Dolly, PJ, Mom, and Dad, along with their family pets. The strip is known for its heartwarming and wholesome humor, often focusing on everyday family situations and the antics of the children.

Family Circus has been widely popular since its debut and has been published in newspapers around the world. The strip has spawned several books, television specials, and a successful merchandising line.

Bil Keane passed away in 2011, but his son Jeff Keane took over as the cartoonist for the strip, continuing to produce new Family Circus comics for audiences to enjoy.
