The Four Color Media Monitor

A writer at PJ Media commented on a comic called 'Ben Franklin Is Silence Dogood Time Travel Agent' by Sean Salter and Charles Knauf, which is reportedly built on respectable values about America, and starring a famous historical figure as a teenager:

"I originally conceived the Silence Dogood series as a Saturday morning-type cartoon," said Salter. Unsurprisingly, he found it nearly impossible to get pro-America projects produced in the stifling pro-left climate of Hollywood. Salter chose to create the series in comic book form instead.

"I want to tell an original story featuring our Founding Fathers and the importance of protecting American freedom," Salter said. "So after much thought and research, I landed on the action-adventure story of a teenage Ben Franklin trapped in a VR utopia controlled by a god-like and nefarious Artificial Intelligence."

"My goal is to tell a story that's both entertaining and thought-provoking while avoiding the pitfalls of preachy modern leftist entertainment," said Salter. "The only agenda here is that American freedom is awesome, America still kicks a**, and to consider that we may have to fight AI and maniacal robots for our very freedom someday if we don't pay attention and fight for it now. Ultimately, it's not a story about time travel, though. It's about a dystopian future where America's founding principles have been forgotten and how, or if, they can be reclaimed."

[...] We at PJ Media always look for ways to support pro-America authors and artists. The Silence Dogood series is a solid way to do just that. "Benjamin Franklin is Silence Dogood Time Travel Agent" is now available on Indiegogo (click see options) and Amazon. And remember, with Christmas and Hanukkah coming up soon, it's an excellent present for the teen reader in your life. You can also support Salter and his future pro-America effort at Turkey Robot Comics and by following and sharing on Instagram and Twitter/X.

The guys who penned this certainly had a great idea to make illustrated format, and what good at this point is Hollywood, based on where they're going? There are other parts of the country where film industries can be set up along with animation industries. It's time to continue doing just that in other parts of the country. In the meantime Salter and Knauf are doing a good deed by emphasizing positive values with their new science fiction GN and deserve some admiration for that.
