This one's a doozy, all about mean teachers of evolution, righteous little girls in pigtails, and black children named Timmy who are ignorant of Christ's message (see above). These things could get addictive; I'm having so much fun laughing. (In disgust)
Why do you think Timmy's black?
ReplyDeleteNot my Christianity.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I'm gonna guess this artist isn't trying for subtlety, so a shaded kid (when all the other kids aren't shaded) is probably supposed to be black.
ReplyDeleteI only remarked on it because I find it noxious that, in addition to the patronizing tone of the entire comic, we've also got a little "white man's burden"—or rather white little girl's burden—going on.
Maybe it's the settings on my work computer, but when I first looked at the panel you posted, I didn't see much shading.
ReplyDeleteThen I followed the link and looked at the rest of the comic strip.
