    Four fingers, one floating eye, sclara? All straw-men that you ‘defeated’ to prove me wrong. I don’t comment on bigotry lightly. I know antisemitism is thrown around as much as comparisons to hitler in hyperbole these days.

    If someone has to look at your body of work to understand if you’re racist or not, you fucked up.

      Have you heard of a saying? “Those looking for something will find it even where none exists.”

        Yes, it’s often true.

        I will give you the author of the cartoon may not be racist. I can’t say. This particular embellishment was a mistake on their part. It watered down the potency of the comic for some and that makes it an oversight at best.
