Mary Worth is also invited to the wedding, so it's gonna get real Oedipal up in there

Curtis, 11/30/22

Curtis may have been a little late in celebrating Charles Schulz's 100th birthday, but it's making up for lost time with a whole week of beloved Peanuts character Franklin tutoring the strip's education-resistent title character. They're going to the always reliable joke of "this art style's specific stylizations would look baffling and grotesque in the context of another art style with a different set of stylizations, were characters from the two universes to coexist." Curtis may be focused on Franklin's huge mouth, but I'm more weirded out by his mohawk. I guess if you 3D-modeled Franklin based on the original drawings, you'd come to the conclusion that he had a mohawk, but I don't think he had a mohawk.
