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. 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. Keane, a native Philadelphian, has occasionally brought the city into reminiscences in Family Circus.
