Not Comics: Bil Keane Statue Unveiled

I am the world's biggest fan of comics-related statuary, so it is with great delight I saw this article marking the unveiling of the Bil Keane statue over in Scottsdale. I'm not sure I have much to say beyond that. I like the idea of a statue that incorporates the look of the cartoonist in addition to some of their signature characters. Keane was a very funny man and his strip was adored by a lot of people -- I think it's the first modern "decency fantasy" strip, and thus was important in that way as well.

This picture of the Keane boys is my favorite photo from the development process.
