Interesting post because it is like a set of snapshots of your society and culture several decades ago. Well researched and composed.

Edit: Charles Schulz spelt with an extra e near the beginning.

Comment from BethShelby
This is interesting. There was the Amos and Andy comic strip back in 1926 and also the Amos and Andy radio show which was very popular but If I'm not mistaken the NAACP was responsible for getting it canceled. I enjoy reading your post.

Appreciate the sixer, your insights, and the review.
Comment from Alexandra Trovato
Comics give us perspective on topics which otherwise get swept under a rug. I was born in 1966 in New York City and I had teenage siblings, so I earned many things. This series is valuable.
Best wishes!

Comment from Bill Schott
This is another very interesting and informative piece on the history of cartoon strips through the years. I guess I forget sometimes that these issues were this monumental.

Hello Brett,
I'm finding your comic series very interesting. I remember when Franklin came out, but I never gave it too much thought. The U S post office put out a Charles Schultz block of stamps that I have in my collection. I'm sure Franklin must be in there as one of the characters. I guess I'll have to go look now. Thanks for sharing.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

I had no idea, obviously I came from a country where segregation was foreign, but no looking back at our own history, maybe the gypsy felt sometimes like this. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Isn't it funny thst even a comic character with a darker shade of colouring can arouse the base things of society, I can remember one of my parents saying...You know what Jews are like? It took me many years to work that one out. (My parents weren't particularly prejudiced, their best friends were Jewish,) beautifully written Brett, blessings Roy

Comment from judiverse
I'm enjoying your look into the history of cartoons. I hadn't given much thought to the impact of segregation on the comic strips. it was a wonderful idea of Harriet Glickman to write Charles Schultz about adding a black character to his popular "Peanuts" comic strip. I'm not a follower of the comic strips, although I used to be. I mostly know about Peanuts from seeing the musical. I can see that the Franklin character might have made some people uncomfortable. judi

Comment from Ulla
Well, again, growing up in Europe segregation it's a total alien concept to me and something I abhor. You can certainly argue that it took Martin Luther King's death to change the view of black cartoons. What a world! Ulla:)))

Segregation showed its ugly face even in this art form. Good for Schultz to shatter that barrier although I don't remember Franklin. Charlie Brown-- ironic last name for this funny boy.
