Yesterday marked 50 years since Franklin, over at Peanuts, made his first appearance. CBS News had a segment about it last night during the evening news, including a short interview with Robb (if you want to put a face to the strip):
Glad that seeing Franklin at age 6 inspired you Robb. I hope you keep publishing Jump Start for years to come!! I’m reading the strips from 22 and 12 (rereading those for sure) years ago, a day at a time. There are some gaps in the 22 year old archive. Glad you persevered!!
