Meet Franklin - the sensitive one
Initially he enjoyed the privileges that this bought - not just the obvious ones like being first in the queue for the hunny, but also the best seats on the couch during prime time, control of the VCR and CD remotes, the right to sit on lesser bearz in order to reach the keyboard etc, etc. Sadly, he quickly found this particular social cachet was devalued by the arrival in quick succession of Arthur, Perry (also from FAO Shwarz), Buzz (A Vermont Teddy Bear), Xena and Gabrielle (Hamley's, London) and George and Kevin ("the Mohair Twins"). Finally the hairy hierarchy was totally destroyed by the ascendancy of Barney - a mere Thrift store acquisition - to Hug leadership.
Deprived of his bear-thright by this ursine social revolution, Franklin sought more gainful employment as a male model (top right). He has been embarrassingly successful at this, having posed with such luminaries as Jeff Conaway and Rick Biggs . Now he has almost saved up enough to buy his first gold lamé posing-pouch. It was during a modelling assignment that he met Ivano-Bear (Bear su-paw model) who, in turn introduced him to Marcus, young Turk of the Hug and contender for Barney's crown as Ü-bear ursine. Together with Oscar they formed The Gang of Four which conspires to overthrow the older hug supremo. These days Franklin, by nature a shy bear, does not mix much with bearz
outside his immediate circle. Most of his time is spent chaperoning
Ivano-Bear and safeguarding the political reputation of his 'special
friend' Marcus (by making sure that Marcus is not left alone with Ivano-Bear). |

Natural-born
anarchists like Bearz are not normally thought of as having a class
structure. However, Franklin joined the Hug as part of a Bear 'aristocracy'
by virtue of having been bought at FAO Schwarz in NYC (at the time this
was a distinction shared only by Theo and Walter).
