Any Children? #1-4116-0

A cheerful snapshot of suburban family life, this 1979 Fawcett/Gold Medal collection promises "four children and a thousand laughs in the Family Circus," just as the cover declares. Bil Keane's cover art sets the scene perfectly: a flustered man at the front door — clipboard in hand — faces a mom while a delightful chaos of toys, a wagon, a teddy bear, a ball, and a toy truck sprawls across the floor around them. If you've ever wondered what it's like to answer the door when kids rule the house, Keane's warm, knowing humor says it all before you even open the first page.
