If you hadn't noticed already, the comic strip Blondie is celebrating it's anniversary. And this means that, as I look at today's strip, only the old-time favourites, such as Beetle Bailey, Hagar the Horrible, Garfield, For Better or For Worse, etc. are invited. None of the fresher, hipper comics have been invited. No Luann. No Baby Blues. No Frazz. No Baldo. Not even Get Fuzzy. & notice that nobody from Jump Start, the Boondocks, or Curtis were invited. This is not meant to offend African-Americans, but do you think that because there are almost no black characters seen in "Blondie," that their invitations had a little message at the bottom saying, "No coloreds please"? I mean, think about how seriously behind-the-times "Blondie" is! I mean, sure they mention the Dixie Chicks, display the Internet, and 9/11 patriotism, but would it kill them to feature a black guy on the strip once in awhile? You know, like, have a pimp appear on the strip or something like that. (Naw, just kidding!) What, is ink still expensive for cartoonists to shade in characters? %$*& you, Blondie, you racist pigs!
