Oaky Doaks - 2 Consecutive Dailies

Tony, I read the blogspot article you directed the viewer to about this strip, and found your comments both fascinating and sensible. I do think there's beauty in these Oaky Doaks strips, in spite of their undeniable racial insensitivity. Oddly, these remind me that I run the risk of courting similar controversy with the Li'l Abner 1966 Tokyo storyline that I love so much and collect examples from, which derive much of their humor from poking fun at Asian characters who outrageously mangle American dialect.

This history of comic books is riddled with more stuff like this.  And rather than pretending it doesn't exist, I think it's much better to take a negative and turn it into a teaching tool.  Thanks for taking the time out to read my blog post on the subject.
