42-year-old newspaper strip THE FAMILY CIRCUS was one of the comics I read just to make sure the funnies lasted as long as possible, not out of any real love for the material. The property does have its fanbase, however, and to the not insignificant tune of 13 million books sold, according to Variety.
Variety also reports that THE GAME PLAN writing duo of Nichole Millard and Kathryn Price have been given the job of adapting the strip into a film.
Will the excitement of following little Billy's trail of dashes translate to the silver screen? Time will tell.
