And He Sings in "1776"

Ben Franklin Strikes Back

A couple of weeks ago, the News-Herald asked me if I'd participate in their Ben Franklin Project, a user-created version of the paper. They wanted me to do an editorial cartoon for that edition, preferably something about Ben Franklin. I figured, "Hey, I like National Treasure, I could do that!"

Ben Franklin was our first Postmaster General, and I've obviously had a tight relationship with the P.O. being the son and grandson of a postal worker. I thought it would be cool to show the arc of Ben Franklin and traditional letters transitioning to our e-mail age.

I heard from a lot of people who saw it, so it seems to have made an impact.
