Artist's Comments

Brooks Television Number 13, Season Two - Station Stereotypes

I was researching some art history a few weeks back at the beginning of summer because I was bored and had really nothing else to do on the internet. Doing so allowed me to stumble upon the topic of Blackface on the wikipedia. Reading through it, I was mortified. I didn't realize how deeply our culture had been effected by this phenomenon. Even Mickey Mouse had been based off of this. Well, I wanted to do a comic about it. So I did. I checked this with a black friend of mine to see if it was offensive, and he said that it was pretty funny. So, I guess it's ok. :D

I liked the blue collar jokes. I hate Comedy Central for playing a dang BLUE COLLAR MARATHON every freaking weekend. There are plenty of other shows to show, but NO, we have to watch Larry The Cable Guy preform for the 80th time. Obviously I could change the channel, but when there is really nothing else on to suit me, that's pretty much the only channel I can stick with.

Oh, yeah, you see some character development (a little bit, but still) of Pac Dude.

Overall, I'd give it a good 3 and a half stars out of 5, but that's just me. If you guys would like to, please give a review. I'd appreciate it.

Great stuff. Somehow (can't remember now due to hangover) during the week I too stumbled across the Blackface article on Wikipedia.

Your style reminds me of a cross between Jhonen Vasquez's "Happy Noodle Boy" & Patrick Alexander's "Raymondo Person" ~ [link] ~ which = goodness.

And just for the sake of it, I give this issue 4/5 thumbs up. The other one was snapped off in a freak sewing accident.

HAHA! I love where Blackface comes in and says "Want some watermelon?" That just made my day. This is definitely a 4/5 stars for its overall style, mesage, and humor, but is lacking in more queer jokes.

I don't quite know what you mean, so I will check it out for myself. But anyway, nice comic! The git 'r' done thing was really funny!

What do you use to draw your comics, they look really good compared to mine.
:iconbrooxweb:
Ultra fine point sharpies, thick sharpies, and G4 gel black ink pens.

And thanks for the compliment! :D
