	Ethical Considerations for the Conservation of Circus Posters
		The key to success for every circus was advertising, and the key to advertising for the first 175 years of the circus in America was the circus poster.
		The circus also invented the concept of saturation advertising, often posting in cities with 50 to 100 standard sized billboards, 15,000 to 20,000 poster sheets, or the equivalent of 626 to 833 standard billboards.
		While circus posters remain some of the greatest examples of 19th and early 20th century lithography, the question of whether they were works of art or not was a consideration at the turn of the century.

	The Family Circus History Summary
		Bil Keane's daily single-frame comic strip began chronicling the mild misadventures of a white, middle-class suburban family on February 19, 1960 and is currently distributed to over 1,300 newspapers, making it the most popular panel in the world.
		Barfy the Dog and Kittycat are the pets of the family, and all are occasionally visited by a stereotypical crew of in-laws, neighbors, and schoolchums—with the principal focus remaining exclusively on the central family of parents and children.
		The perpetual preadolescence of the brood enables Keane to ignore the more disturbing issues of parenting which arise with puberty, and a typical Family Circus panel is a simple illustration of a child's malapropism, mild misunderstanding of the adult world, or parental eye-rolling.

		Let's face it, in the real world the kids of "Family Circus" would already be well-versed in downloadable Internet porn, would be killing space aliens with hyper-powered laser rifles on their Gameboys and would likely be living in a single-parent home.
