Today in Comics History, October 5: Happy 100th birthday, Bil Keane!

Born on this day in 1922: cartoonist and creator of The Family Circus: Bil Keane!

I don't have any appearances of him inside comic books, but happy birthday anyway, Bil!


from Popeye (1948 series) #48 (Dell, April 1959); script, pencils, and inks by Bud Sagendorf

The dad in Family Circus is based on Bil, in case that helps any; he appears to be a cartoonist, as evidenced by the times Billy supposedly fills in by doing the strip while his father’s on break and various instances of the Keanes’ names being used.
