Wanna Be Smiled At? [Family Circus]

Bil Keane's Wanna Be Smiled At? collects the gentle, single-panel humor of The Family Circus into a series of paperback-sized books from Gold Medal Books, beginning in 1970 and running for five issues. Each volume gathers Keane's beloved domestic scenes featuring the mischievous kids Billy, Dolly, Jeff, and P.J., along with their parents and the ever-present dotted line of their wanderings. These collections offer a tidy, nostalgic snapshot of the strip's enduring charm, preserving its warm, everyday family comedy for readers to revisit.
