I do like the part where Shultz - facing friction over Franklin having the audacity to be black - told em to fuck off.

“I remember telling Larry (Rutman, who at the time ran King Features Syndicate) at the time about Franklin—he wanted me to change it, and we talked about it for a long while on the phone, and I finally sighed and said, “Well, Larry, let’s put it this way: Either you print it just the way I draw it or I quit. How’s that?"
