FortuneCookie 09/26/20 11:18:07 PM #10:	It's weird. A comic from the 1940s could go from featuring racial stereotypes of Black men with jet-black skin, red lips, and hokey dialogue to having a sports insert at the end praising Joe Louis as a great champion and a true gentleman. Apparently, nobody at the time saw the irony in that. <_< --- 2020 going to be a CE kind of year ~ Panthera <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:945126481] in I can't ge...
