We were at Knott's Berry Farm the other day and lo and behold the theme park gods broke out the Franklin costume. I couldn't resist and had to take a picture. When was the last time you got to photo op with the only 1950s African-American member of the Peanuts gang? I always thought Franklin was the coolest maybe second to Snoopy. He had that beat poet vibe personna in the cartoon that I could relate to and somehow probably influenced the development of "cool like dat" hip hop. At least in my mind.

I'm originally from NYC and worked in the music business and experienced the height of "hipsterism". I now reside in LA where I continue to live a rapidly aging hipster life and love it. Archives
