Franklin Fibbs gets renamed to Little Fibbs
Skip to comments
Wes Hargis and Hollis Brown have renamed their “Franklin Fibbs” feature to “Little Fibbs” and changed the premise from one centered around an older senior citizen to one around a precocious child, Franklin. According to Rose McAllister at King Features, the strip’s rework was in response to the creator’s concerns that editors were “pigeon-holing their strip as one aimed at seniors since Franklin, the lead character, was a senior citizen. Plus, the fact that they both find it fun to write and draw for a young character led them to make the change.”
The change occurred last week on the 7th of May.
The new description for the feature is:
“Little Fibbs” is about a small boy with a big imagination. In an effort to impress the love of his young life, Franklin Fibbs often finds himself telling the most fantastic tales. All the while, his efforts are being undermined by his particularly mean-spirited pet cat. The stories themselves reflect all the wonder and mystery that a child can find in his everyday surroundings.
New Character Descriptions
FRANKLIN: The precocious main character of “Little Fibbs.” Imaginative. Outlandish. Often lost in a fantasy world of his own creation.
PALOMA: Classmate and friend of Franklin’s. Object of his affection. Amused by Franklin’s stories, but much too well-grounded to ever completely buy into them.
ROSCOE: Franklin’s pet cat. Sarcastic and cynical. His main lot in life seems to be debunking Franklin’s stories.
