Happy Anniversary, Franklin!

I regularly enjoy the newspaper columns written by Cary Clack and today's piece provided me with the perfect avenue for me to resume my blog! In his July 31, 2008 article, Franklin: A Trailblazer in "Peanuts", Mr. Clack celebrates the 40th anniversary of the first appearance of Franklin, one of the members of Charles Schulz's "Peanuts" gang. Much to consider about this anniversary--social history and the influence of the graphic novel and comics come to mind.  Go to Snoopy.com and click on Franklin to read the original July 31, 2008 strip.  Enjoy!

I had forgotten about Franklin and enjoyed reading the article on this character creation.
