Funny story about a dysfunctional family. Narrator Tim is the son of a famous cartoonist who draws a strip ala family circus. he dies, leaves his artist son the strip, who will stand to inherit the strip and all the money if he can submit successful strips. He doesn't want to do it. we meet his schizophrenic brother who may or may not be the legitimate son (still haven't figured that out) and his two sisters and older brother.
I like the writing and glad to have stumbled across this writer.

The story of five kids who grew up being a part of their dad's comic strip, The Family Funnies (similar to The Family Circus). But their real-life family is wildly dysfunctional. The book begins with the death of their dad when they all get together again for the first time in years.
