McCarthy later served as art director of Friar, a national Franciscan magazine, and this led to the Brother Juniper character coming to the attention of the Publishers Syndicate, a distributor of comic strips. The Brother Juniper strip was published from 1958 until 1989.[4] Running in over 100 American newspapers as well as overseas,[4] Brother Juniper was the only religious-themed comic ever syndicated in daily newspapers internationally.[5] McCarthy also created two less-successful religious-themed strips, Sister Suzie about a teaching nun, and Brother Rufus. He published these under the pen name \"Fred Francis\".[6]--Wikipedia","brand":"Hanover House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39722359259206,"sku":"2320298","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2320298.jpg?v=1641932524","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/brother-juniper-at-work-and-play","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
