Ben's looking for some fireworks

I like reading the comics on holidays to see which comics address the fact that it is a holiday, and see which choose to ignore it. I don't have a preference; I just find it interesting. Today, it seemed that most comics ignored that it's Independence Day. But what really amused me was that not one, but two strips decided to commemorate the day by making a "Ben Franklin was a horny beast" joke:

Frank & Ernest

and Mother Goose & Grimm

It's not that I disagree with the characterization, it's just really funny that that's how the artists decided to acknowledge the holiday. Screw your work on the Declaration, Ben! You were a hound! Happy 4th!

(Apropos of nothing, the Frank & Ernest Ben is cuter, don't you think?)
