this episode, titled "color bind", was done in early november 2009. i always joked that doing laundry was how racism was taught at home, but the real reason i did this was because of a co-worker. she asked a table to quiet down when they started disrupting other people's dinners with the volume of their lewd conversation. the WHITE guy at the table said they wouldn't quiet down and that my co-worker friend was being racist. what he actually said was, "is this because we're black?" remember, he was white. in fact, there were only two black guys at that table, and they were horrified at what was happening. what a d-bag.
i had several other versions of what the head klansman says, but what i used was the most simple and to the point - one being something about "the segregation of colors when doing your laundry like the good lord intended" or something like that. for the record, this comic is not making a racial statement like we should reinstate segregation or something. i used the klan as a vehicle to tell the joke since it would be something they would say. it is NOT something i believe.
whew! now i'm all caught up. after this post, i will be publishing this blog as new comics/illustrations are posted to the website.
