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.

Ben Franklin Entertains the Neighborhood Kids!

Ben Franklin was many things- scientist, inventor, astronaut and cyborg. But perhaps he was best known for his hilarious comedy routines which inspired the neighborhood kids to develop what later became known as "Vaudeville." Franklin's famous "kite in a lightning storm" skit was probably his earliest (and definitely his most successful) attempt at comedic performance art.

The REAL Ben Franklin

This is the only true portrait of Ben Franklin you'll see today.

Benjamin Franklin - Great Brit!

Benjamin Franklin, one of the greatest men of his age. Born and bred a British subject and lived as such for 70 of his 84 years on this Earth. We were happy to have him.

In 2245 scientists revive the consciousness of Ben Franklin using his DNA and
new bio tech! Ben's newly revived mind forms the "Ben Corp," comprising of 10
special scientific soldiers, thus giving them the nick name "Ben's Ten."
I sketched two of his science soldiers below. "Library Guardian" and
"The Lightening Rod."
