Summary
As often poignant and insightful on the subject of sibling relations as it is laugh-out-loud hilarious, The Funnies is a bittersweet comedy that tells the story of the Mix family - dysfunctional, semi-estranged brood forever immortalized as wisecracking imps in their father's nationally syndicated Family Circus-esque comic strip. When Carl Mix dies, his estate is divided among four of his five children. Instead of a cushiony bank account, Tim Mix, a struggling artist and our narrator, is given three months to learn to draw his father's strip. If he succeeds (which means selling out) he will have inherited a gold mine; if he fails, he will get nothing. Despite its creator's passing, the strip continues to tyrannize the family that inspired it.
