Johnny From The Frontier was born from the desire to create a character to tell a brief story about the French and Indian War. Since his inception, he has been transformed into an over-the-mountain man who joins the Patriot cause during the American Revolution.

My "friend" Tommy has not found his niche. Around 10 years ago he first appeared in a parody music video. I created for the New Nation Era. He has made random appearances in various forms. I have ideas to give him a unique identity.

When we began to have "Pirate Day" to teach about the economic & political impacts they had on Colonial Carolina, I thought it would be fun to be Blackbeard. Eventually I decided that I would create a fictional "friend" named Madbeard.

Determining which one of my "friends" came second is a bit difficult for me. The second and third ones came around the same time. I am going to say that Madbeard (Aarrgh!) was it. He is the most feared pirate to sail the seas.

The first "friend" I created was Mr. Smith. There are two versions of the same character: Boom and Bust. He was created before I knew there would be more "friends" ... before I even had a name for him ... before I had any idea this would be a thing for me.

Over the past decade or more I have created "friends" (fictional characters - but don't tell my students) who help me teach the content. What began as a fun way to help students interact with what I teach has become a passion project of mine.

Today I honor the late, great Charles Schulz on his birthday (November 26, 1922). Growing up I looked forward to the Peanuts comics and TV specials. He also created a series on history called "This Is America, Charlie Brown", which is quite groovy!
