And that's where Charlie Brown comes in. Yep, you read right. Franklin Armstrong, a Charlie Brown character of Africa American descent was created by Charles Schulz in the late 1960s.
During the late 1960s Martin Luther King, Jr was shot and a white California teacher; Harriet Glickman and mother of three felt helpless. So she reached out to the cartoon writer, but unfortunately, he thought it might be looked down upon adding a black character. Against his editor's wishes, Franklin was added to the comics.
Ok, if you watched the cartoon then, you'd know that Snoopy; a dog which is color blinde was the one who set the chairs at the table and not Charlie. And if you also noticed NON OF THE FREAKING CHAIRS MATCH. And also Franklin CHOSE TO SIT IN THAT RICKETY CHAIR WHEN THERE WAS THE BLUE OR BROWN CHAIR BESIDE BESIDE IT. And also, HE CHOSE TO SIT ON THAT SIDE BY BY HIMSELF WHEN THERE WAS AN EMPTY CHAIR GREEN CHAIR BESIDE PEPPERMINT PATTY. That would mean Snoopy would be sitting on the opposite side by himself. And you'd also noticed if you watched that the blue and brown chair disappears beside Franklin. And that just means even if he would have chosen one or the other, the rickety chair and the other would have disappeared as well.
Everyone notices Franklin sitting by himself, but did y'all actually watch it to know any of this? Did you notice that there are missing characters? A holiday special, you'd think everyone would be there, but only certain people were invited. And did you notice how unappreciative Peppermint Patty was with the food she received? Who makes Marcy go and apologizes to Charlie instead.
