Emergency Horse: A Dog Named Barfy / by Mike Lee

Mike Lee's essay included The Bil Keane Watch in this Portland, Oregon tabloid.

Bil Keane Watch run amok

CLG readers had a lot of fun deconstructing Bil Keane's Family Circus in a running feature I called "The Bil Keane Watch." I understand the Keane family came to regard our treatment of Family Circus as their favorite satire of Zen Master Bil's work.

One weird and complex spinoff from covering Keane's work resulted in CLG getting a mention in Harper's Magazine. Originally they were interested in the Watch, but they shifted their focus to something else. Mike Lee of Eugene, Oregon's Emergency Horse tells the tale.
