I didn't really think his cartoons were all that funny, but I appreciated them, nonetheless.
Not "edgy". Not "political". Just a pleasant reminder of simpler things.

May he Rest in Peace.
Hopefully his son will carry on after him.

One of the last reminders of the kind of people we once wanted to be. RIP Mr. Keane, and condolences to Billy, Jeffy, Dolly, and P.J.

The “Family Circus” was always a clean staple of good, wholesome material for all ages.
Very sad to hear of Mr. Keane`s passing..RIP.

I remember one Family Circus from the early ‘70s. It showed the youngest one walking down their front sidewalk, completely naked, with his eyes shut tight. One of the daughters leans over and whispers to her friend, “he thinks he’s invisible ‘cause his eyes are closed.”

There are some very odd parodies of his work out there, of varying degrees of tastelessness, with some being very odd indeed. For example, one just replaces the captions of his comics with random phrases taken from Friedrich Nietzsche or H.P. Lovecraft.
He also got a lot of mainstream parody, such as in the Pearls Before Swine comic. Keane himself didn’t mind too much, and in some cases got quite a laugh out of it, but his syndicate didn’t like it one bit.

I liked the ones where the whole family would be somewhere and all the kids were asking questions at the same time.

Apparently it evolved a bit. Here is one from the 60's (from Wikipedia).

I liked the moral edge to his cartoons!
May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

For more than a half century, Bil Keane's clever "Family Circus" comics entertained readers with a mix of humor and traditional family values, intentionally simplistic because the author thought the American public needed that consistency.
Ouch! They can't even let the man die in peace.
It was a comic the whole family could enjoy and it wasn't very different from the other comics that were around when it started.
No need to apologize for that or be ashamed of it.
