unsettling report in the delaware news journal today...it seems they've pulled the family circus from their daily comics page! a call to arms has been raised by none other than tom keane, wilmington resident and brother to bill.
so do your part to support family humor in delaware. call the number listed in the above link (last letter on the page), or e-mail betsy price, features editor of the news journal at beprice@delawareonline.com. tell them the finks need the family circus, for their sanity and for blog material.

here's my family circus moment from this past weekend- walking out of church yesterday, the kids give the priest hi-fives. molly says, "you know what? i smacked god's hand!" always knew she was strong-willed, but rebuking the hand of god is a whole new level.

Christopher's letter to the news journal was awesome- PERFECT- and extremely well written. I'm sure they'll bring it back. They have to! What will Owen do reading the morning comics? He'll be stuck with only Garfield and Marmaduke-ugh! :)

That's Bil with one L
funny you comment on "bil with one L"...it's what i always thought too, and checking up on it, is absolutely right. but the letter to the editor from tom keane spells it "bill", which tells me either a) the news journal tried to correct what it thought was a misspelling, or b) there is no tom keane, as evidenced by the fact that he can't spell his own brother's name.
I'd go with A. Any paper with editors that would dump FC, likely has editors that don't know how to spell Bil Keane's name.
