Update: Bil Keane Statue Now Over Goal




Above: the "Giddy Yup Daddy" maquette model of the proposed statue, co-designed by sons Glen and Jeff Keane.

A statue to commemorate Bil Keane, creator of the long-running newspaper panel FAMILY CIRCUS, has been proposed in Bil's home of Paradise Valley, AZ.

This 14 minute video has a lot of great vintage photos of Bil through the years.
