"Franklin is a fictional character in the comic strip Peanuts, created by Charles M. Schulz. Introduced on July 31, 1968, Franklin was the first African American character in the strip. He goes to school with Peppermint Patty and Marcie.
In his first story arc, he met Charlie Brown when they were both at the beach. Franklin's father was a soldier fighting in Vietnam, to which Charlie Brown replied "My dad's a barber... he was in a war too, but I don't know which one." Franklin later paid Charlie Brown a visit and found some of Charlie Brown's other friends to be quite odd. His last appearance was in 1999, the year before Schulz's death." (Wiki)
"Franklin is the level-headed voice of reason amongst the other Peanuts characters' frequent phobias and neuroses. A close friend of schoolmates Peppermint Patty and Marcie, Franklin is also known for his philosophical chats with Linus and his deep skepticism of The Great Pumpkin. This 16” Supersize figure features premium vinyl construction and real cloth apparel. Franklin acknowledges that the members of the Peanuts gang are deeply unique, but he always accepts his friends for exactly who they are. We could all use a little Franklin in our lives, and Super7’s Supersize Franklin figure is your chance to bring him into your home!" (Product Dimensions: 19 1/2" x 9 1/2" x 15 1/4")
