Tags: Comic Strip.
Silly Philly was the first comic strip by Bil Keane most noted for the long-running single-panel (weekdays) and Sunday (strip) comic Family Circus. In 1947 Keane created the Sunday strip while working for the Philadelphia Bulletin. The main character was a goofy juvenile William Penn who had somehow jumped down from his 37′ statue on the tower of City Hall in Philadelphia and become something of a scamp.
