I remember reading his strip when I was a kid. It'll be sad to see his strip missing from the funnies page. http://www.tmz.com/2011/11/09/bil-keane-family-circus-dead/?fb_ref=.Trshk2kzVmE.like&fb_source=home_multiline#.TrslF3Ig9kZ

That's too bad. He lived a great life. His comic strip was iconic and it will live on for ages.

That comic strip has been around all my life....little jeffery has been little Jeffery for 50 year or so! I remember reading it as a kid..I did that one all the time cause it was short and funny...I didn't usually read the others as they were longer and I just didn't want to spend that much time reading it as I knew I wouldn't understand it! But Family Circle was the best!

I am sad to see him gone it seems like that is one I still liked to read whenever I get the paper to read I wonder if they will have sombody else write them or do away with the comic it just makes me realize some things never stay the same.
