I think it makes it less unethical for him to write at least. But yeah, still awful to think that he might have seen himself that way

It’s genius. It’s a bittersweet way to put it out there front and center.

Oop- hey there ^^

This is a great example of how racism has held back art, science and a lots of other fields and there is no way to tell how far we’d be as a species if we’d recognized talent and skill no matter where the source. Harriman’s work could have been just as fantastic and yet would never been given a chance had anybody known the truth. While things are better today it’s a lesson we still haven’t fully learned.

@@coledavidson5630interesting take on it. If anyone has a right to tell any side of any story I believe it’s the person living it. Just because the truth makes anyone uncomfortable does not change its truths. It would be nice to only pick and choose to look at what is agreeable rather than take something in for what it is. I would feel more connected to Herriman for making that comic because even if it were to be looked at as a “mistake” he was living his truth right in front of the world. All I can ever do is feel for myself because everyone’s greatest judgement is in their own mind and heart I find it to be a crime to tell anyone how to think or feel.

They mainly only really say "separate the art from the artist" when the artist has done really really bad things but you can't help but still love and admire the work they have done. It all really depends on WHAT they did.

@@Gadget-Walkmen A prime example of that would be H.P. Lovecraft. Guy was CRAZY racist even for his time, and it shows in his works as he would write about various minorities in very unflattering lights. He even wrote an infamous rant about his bigotry. Despite that, he also paved the road for Cosmic Horror (AKA Lovecraftian Horror but I'm pretty sure that term been all but dropped from culture as a whole) to exist, and that's all we acknowledge. Am I saying Cosmic horror is inherently racist because of Lovecraft and his bigotry? No, of course not. Like you said, separate the art from the artist. However, it's still important to know the kinds of people that are writing these stories. For example, did you know J. K. Rowling used goblins as an allegory for jewish people? Its not just that, but also many other ethnicities and minorities are depicted as otherworldly creatures and/or mixed blood wizards throughout the entire series. While not as overt as Lovecraft, it does explain the current crowd she associates with...

LOL Just no. You're completely wrong here as you have NO idea on what you're saying AT ALL. The goblins in Harry Potter ARE NOT "aN AlLeGorY fOR jeWIsH peoPLe" AT ALL, it's just a BAD statement of horrible similarities people are terribly making out to start controversy JUST for the sake of it. Nothing more. There are no "ethnicities" OR "minorities" that are not even CLOSE to being depicted as otherworldly creatures AT ALL in Harry Potter, lol NOT even close and great job at being THIS wrong here as the creatures in the story are JUST meant to be fantasy creatures and nothing more. Your BADLY spewing lies about a series that has NONE of the nonsense that which your falsely accusing it of here at all. You seriously need to STOP saying this nonsense as it's nowhere NEAR what Lovecraft was trying to do at all. It's JUST you and people like you who BADLY are believing this nonsense about Harry Potter and the horrible false allegations against it. You have NO idea on what you're talking about with Harry Potter, nothing more. Are we not allowed to have goblins in fiction now without people WRONGLY associating them with antisemantism now? Are you being serious? LOL That's just false allegations that you people are BADLY doing here. Goblins have LONG since associated with green mischievous little creature who are obsessed with gold before JK Rowling was even born. If anyone making any false connections to that of Jewish people are doing it coincidence and their own biases of trying to look for offensive imagery that's NOT intentionally there. It's THAT simple. The only thing that IS there is the whole commentary of "mixed blood wizards and witches" which is meant to be criticizing anyone who thought they were better from being "pure blood" like malfoy family and what Voldemort was trying to do by trying to kill off anyone who he thought needed to be "cleansed" and the whole story was CRITICIZING them for believing and acting upon those terrible beliefs. Herimone is literally a muggle born witch and it's brought up on how meaningless it is to value being "pure blood", "half blood", or "muggle born" when Herimone has proven to be one of the most gifted magic users in the whole series and out-besting "pure blood" wizards. Ron is apart of a "pure blood family" but he's not that gifted or talented in anything. His whole family is dirt poor but they're among the most nicest and friendliest people OF the Harry Potter Saga. This is clearly to be analogous to race and how your race doesn't matter on who you are or if you're skilled or talented or not, your ACTIONS do and you can come from anywhere and still be heavily gifted and skilled.

It doesn't make Hitler or supporting them any better but Jesus Christ it's like how everybody love Jared Fogle until they found out about his really terrible stuff. It was kind of the same

@@SlapstickGenius23 Wow, no kidding! Are there any good cartoons of the characters by later ?

There's always a burst of creativity when any new artistic medium is invented. The pioneers face the challenge of the ultimate empty page - they're working in a medium where nothing has been done or invented and they have to build all the conventions and styles themselves. But on the other hand, everything they do will be original since there's nothing to compare it to. Inevitably some talents rise to meet the challenge.

James Baldwin famously said that society has no use for a writer until he's dead. As it was so often with things, Baldwin was right.

how as it obscurity? he had a nationally syndicated strip and it was very artsy. Very few pieces of such ay our visions ever get such a mainstream coverage.

@@MicahMicahel Stop commenting, seriously, your last set of comments got pulled down for spreading misinformation, your STILL spreading misinformation with this other one, nothing you're saying is right here AT ALL!

That’s interesting!

Maybe he misspoke? I don't know how anyone could read any Krazy Kat comic without seeing that Officer Pupp was obviously in love with Krazy. Also, the fact that Krazy was always referred to as "he" even though in every behavioural respect he was feminine is the only "homosexual" aspect I can see in the strip. There were a lot of emotional complexities though. Ignatz Mouse was married and had a family, and his wife kind of treated Krazy as "the other woman," while Krazy treated the wife with respect. One time Krazy became infatuated with a romantic Spanish dog and squelched Ignatz's attempt to throw a brick, leaving Ignatz devastated - he himself didn't know if he was throwing it out of love or hate. The strip is as fascinating emotionally as it is visually.

Don't question great content highlighted underrated comics history... just enjoy the ride!!

it's disinformation. anti semitic leftists? George was Jewish. Herriman is a Jewish name and Jews were discriminated against. Jews often have very curly hair. There's even a term called a "jewfro." Why are we trying to erase this guy's racial identity to be trendy according to the current thing?

I've made this argument for years: literature is largely a class instrument. It's importance seems entirely determined by the size of the textblock, the narrow line spacing, the width of the gutters, and the absence of illustrations. This way you can "ensure" that the reader must have education and intellect to read it. They see images as a crutch to help the illiterate. The second-oldest physical art form is historically stewarded by goddamned Philistines.

I didn't read the book, what was it about and what was the reference?

@@Gadget-Walkmen I can't explain it without giving away the plot, but it's a great book and I highly recommend it. The title character, a wealthy woman with no children of her own, dotes on the narrator of the novel and calls him her Ignatz.

I just picked up a Phantom comic by FREW publications, Australia; issue 1960! A Xmas Special. Apart from reprinting classic daily strips by Falk, Moore, McCoy and Barry and more recent writers and artists, Frew also reprints the translated Egmont Phantom comics from Denmark and occasionally from Brazil and India. The Phantom is still extraordinarily popular in these countries, more so than in his country of origin, the USA, despite efforts by Marvel and DC. In the Sixties Charlton and Western Publishing (Dell) had long running series that had more success with the character. I personally like the Danish versions which hit on a successful formula whereby they utilised the Phantom's long four century heritage to spin stories across time and place, thus avoiding the tricky "white saviour" tag the Phantom has more recently attracted over his jungle adventures (more recent adventures have downplayed this aspect), though he's far less problematic than that other well-known jungle adventurer, Tarzan! Yes, he's the original superhero, having first appeared in 1936, three years before Superman.

Little Nemo was amazingly far ahead of most other comics of it's day, in it's "camera angles" alone. The rest barely caught up by the late 1930's!

Look at his name in the center of the screen, it says "colored" to the FAR right. The paper in the video DOES say he's colored entirely at the video. It says "colored" at the FAR right of his name in his birth certificate. You just need to LOOK for it. There IS documentation of him being "black/colored" you just need to LOOK for it. So stop with this "thees no documentation of him being black" because there IS, what you're saying is a flat out LIE here. Herriman was born to mixed-race parents, and his birth certificate lists Herriman as "colored". In the post-Plessy v. Ferguson U.S., in which "separate but equal" racial segregation was enshrined, people of mixed race had to choose to identify themselves as either black or white. And Herriman isn’t even a “jewish name” Lol WHAT? That’s something you BADLY made up here and “Jews” DON’T have “Afros” AT ALL, that’s just a bad false stereotype that you’re saying right now. The only thing that’s “weird” is your terrible comment here as Geogre Herriman WAS classified AS black due to the one drop rule in society. Nobody is trying to make “everyone black now” lol just stop talking, you’re just BADLY spreading lies here.

@@nuckygulliver9607 No he was NOT “actually jewish” AT ALL, that’s a LIE that you made up here and the only thing that’s “badly researched” is your terrible comments as you’re spreading lies about Harriman’s life and identity here. Nothing about the video is a lie. Everything you've said right now just makes you look bad as you have NO idea on what you're saying at all.

Windsor McKay might be the only contemporary of Herriman's to hold a candle to him. Both men knew the importance of space and dimension and how to utilize the plasticity of it to their creative advantage. They had massive formats to work with and we're so accustomed to commercial contractions of that space over the last 100 years that we forget that cartooning has as much flexibility and potential as graphic design and fine art but is never given the commercial space to demonstrate that. At least not in the States; Europe it might be different. Bill Watterson was very heavily influenced by Herriman's use of spatial dynamics and you can see it most heavily in his Sunday _Calvin & Hobbes_ strips, even when the syndicate crushed the format into a box.

great video though, more people need to see this

"This comic book artist had to hide his black identity" as well works
