All About the Benjamin

A little backstory to enjoy my strip: Ben Franklin's eldest son, William, was a British loyalist who was exiled to England after the Revolutionary War. He never reconciled with his famous (founding) father.


Everything else is me being silly.

    Simon, I will paraphrase 30 Rock: "Britain is nothing more than the dried up husk America came out of".

    Zing!

    I'd say it sounds like Tim got back the cask of ook sauce from you, Joe.

    Boys, boys, there's a reason why we didn't learn about the War of 1812. What, might you ask? Because we got our asses kicked!
    Which means, Joe has a point.
    Simon, how dare you! You're a Scotsman, not a Brit. Don't forget your roots!

    Melissa, I'm a Scotsman AND a Brit , just not an...[spits] Englishman!
    I have no beef with Canada, which seems to be a relatively rational new world country.

    ..now pass the Oook Juice!

    This is clearly the best Drawbridge thread ever. Kudos to George's Ben Franklin-by-way-of-Frank Miller strip for applying the appropriate dash of cultural insensitivity.
