Smile! [Family Circus]

Bil Keane’s Smile! [Family Circus] is a short-lived spin-off series from Gold Medal Books that ran for three issues between 1976 and 1977, collecting and repackaging the beloved newspaper comic strip. As the sole writer and artist, Keane brought his signature warm, gentle humor to these digest-sized volumes, offering readers a curated dose of the Family Circus’s everyday domestic adventures. While brief, the series stands as a tidy, charming artifact of one of the most widely syndicated comics of its era, preserving the classic antics of the Keane family in a compact format.
