Guy Goodbody posted:Old 2000 AD comics can be pretty racist Yeah. I went "Yikes!" a lot reading old progs. It's that typical type of British racism where they make a show of how they're totally ok with black people, unlike those dumb Americans, but then they'll caricature east asians, indians, middle easterners, etc. to a degree that competes with racist 4chan memes.

I found all three volumes in a used book store, which is great because it's so rare to find 2000 AD stuff in America. but then I started reading it and, yikes. For instance, Sam's Cuban robo-cigar,  And I couldn't find any images of them online, but Ian Gibson draws some pretty drat adorable incredibly offensive Japanese caricatures. aside from that tho, it's not bad

I read the Eagle reprints of Robo-Hunter at a real young age and noticed absolutely none of that most likely because I had no idea what racist caricatures were at like 7 Sure hated that cigar though

So some people in a Facebook group I'm in are twisting themselves into knots trying to turn Peter David's "I'd Rather the IRS Not Take My House" GoFundMe into an excuse to call him a shithead, and I want to punch through the loving universe like Superboy Prime.

Mine has the firehouse case as well. site posted:Speaking of, in case you missed it the #1 for the new idw arc came out...last??? week I bought it but haven't read it yet. I've heard it's good, but all the Burnham/Schoening has been really good so that's not a surprise.
