      Congratulations Bard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are funded and now you can get some "over funding" to help with the costs of production and submission to Film Festivals. I am SO proud to be a part of your project Bard.

      And something else, MANY, MANY of the people on Kickstarter do not think beyond their own projects - they rarely become "backers" to any other projects - BUT YOU have helped my Kickstarter project and that means an awful lot to me....Thank You, Bard!

      Meant to write days ago but was enamored with Franklin and so my mind became mush. So glad to see this up and with sound! I am at the edge of my seat for July!

      If this becomes a series, I think it would be funny to have an installment where Franklin gets a white stripe painted down his back and then pursued by that French rapist Pepe le Peeuw. You could take that in a lot of different directions.

      Thanks! I actually use a fragrance called "Frank" and I have already thought about asking them to sponsor this... And I'll consider mugs and t-shirts and whatnot if this takes off. :-)

      I want hats! I want mugs! t-shirts! stationary items......and maybe even a fragrance. I see this going places.

      Love Franklin. <3
