Do you think cartoonists Bill Keane and Marcus Hamilton ever talk to each other before drawing their Family Circus and Dennis the Menace cartoons respectively?
Or is it just a coincidence that Keane drew Daddy Bil lying on the floor in a fake faint, while Hamilton drew Alice Mitchell in a real faint? (Hamilton, in case you didn’t know, does the drawing for Dennis the Menace these days since originator Hank Ketcham died in 2001).
It’s comparable to two women wearing the same dress to a ritzy soiree.
Can you just imagine the two waking up this morning, picking up the morning paper and perhaps seeing their cartoons juxtaposed as they were in this morning’s Honolulu Star-Advertiser?
I wonder if they fainted.
Probably did faint!
