... that Kimboo—created by an Ivorian First Lady—was the first animated series to both feature a main character of native African descent and air on the U.S. BET network?

Comment: Announced for my old article sandbox back in mid-December 2010, but never acted upon till the time I transitioned to my brand-new AFC queue. By the way, here's hoping WP can extend its coverage on African-produced animation in the years ahead. Stay tuned as I prepare for another DYK submission in a couple of days. Take care!

Comment (first time in DYK!) - Nice hook concept, but feels pretty wordy with 3 facts in one. Maybe something more short-and-sweet like:

ALT1: "... that in 1989, the then-First Lady of the Ivory Coast created an animated kids show?" BugGhost 🦗👻 14:59, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
