This editorial cartoon, by Branson’s favorite editorial cartoonist, illustrates the current situation where the City of Branson is trying to assert that it has a legitimate right to the service mark Branson after the term has been in the public domain for over 120 years. For an additional editorial perspective two recent editorials appearing in the Branson Daily Independent and on line in the Branson Courier entitled, “Give us a break, the City of Branson can keep the term ‘Dodink’ but leave ‘Branson’ alone, please!” and “Wouldn’t it be better for ‘Branson’ if the City of Branson changed its name to the ‘City of New Branson?’” might be helpful.
