I ran this Bil Keane cartoon, from the pages of "Yank the Army Weekly," recently, and posted it again on Facebook yesterday when Bil's son Jeff announced his death.

Of course, Bil Keane is not remembered for the cartoons he did as a GI during WWII, though the war in the Pacific is how he met his wife, Thel, in Australia. Keane's claim to fame is as the creator of "The Family Circus," an iconic view of kids and families that has probably appeared on more refrigerators than the words "General Electric."

Keane had the reputation of being the cartoonist that was far too cute among other cartoonists.

He was quite good at getting a small chuckle out of just one frame every day.
