Franklin Goes to Ukraine

Franklin GOES TO UKRAINE

What it means

A cartoon turtle resembling Franklin wears a gas mask and carries a rifle while holding a blue stuffed dog in a colorful countryside setting. The joke darkly parodies the children’s book character by placing him in a war-related situation, making it useful as an absurd or bleak reaction to news about Ukraine and militarization.
