Franklin

Franklin the Camera Man is a cosmic entity that follows The Buds around and films them.

Not much is known about Franklin's past before he met The Buds. All that is known is that he was asleep, and then he woke up. During the Milk Tutorial series One Bud emanated so much Meme Energy that Franklin woke from his slumber. He began to haunt One Bud and infiltrate his mind, demanding he make more tutorials so he could harvest the Meme Energy. At one point One Bud failed to create enough energy for harvest, and so he rushed to make a video.

During the rush he destroyed a perfectly good fucking copy of The Second Garfield Treasury, so Franklin began to take over One Bud's body. Franklin was going to use his body to make more tutorials so he could harvest the energy. One Bud began to resist and tried to kill himself. It didn't work at all, so instead One Bud and Franklin came to an agreement that as long as One Bud made memes Franklin would harvest the energy with no other interference. As soon as this agreement was made Franklin permanently attached himself to One Bud.

During the 2019 Christmas Special Franklin took over Other Bud's body to film. Absolutely flabbergasted at Franklin's sweet camera skills, the Buds asked Franklin if he could become their camera man. Franklin does not film every video, but he has filmed a very substantial amount.

Franklin, despite being an assumed powerful entity has been neutral in most conflicts. He did nothing to stop the murder of the Other Bud, and nothing at all during Third Bud 853.950's fight against the Two Buds.
