My friends and I love watching Drunk History on www.funnyordie.com and in case you're wondering what that is, I'll fill you in. The premise is pretty simple: people get ridiculously drunk and then tell stories from American history. The stories are usually pretty hilarious due to how drunk the person telling the story is and also the absurdity of the story. There's a couple episodes on Benjamin Franklin, who is played by Jack Black. I decided to draw Ben for my friend because he always toasts Ben Franklin, which is in reference to one of the stories, and I wanted him to have some kind of picture on his wall to toast. I am starting to attempt to incorporate type into my drawings but I think it'll be some time until I'm happy with it.

Franklin wrote (in his autobiography) of how much money he saved as a young man in England by not joining his companions in a breakfast of rum followed by more rum at breaks during the day.
I think they referred to him as the "Water-American". I read somewhere that the first recorded purchase of alcohol by him wasn't until 1739. It's a tempting way to live after you realize how much money you spend some nights.
