And that’s how speed dating leads to the slammer in 4 easy steps. Since our strip doesn’t deal in coherent plot arcs, we won’t illustrate the resulting prison break. Know that it involves a stair car, secret cake contents, and a poster of Raquel Welch. The warden and guards weren’t duped. They discovered the mix-up hours earlier; they just didn’t have the heart to take away Mo’s one chance at imitating his favorite prison break movies.
Did this joke make sense? Did anyone remember that Mo dresses in stripes because he’s a mime? Does the fact that we alluded to such metaphysical mimery ages ago help? Looking at that ancient strip, it’s clear that our token black character’s never been buddy-buddy with the fuzz. Three cheers for more accidental racism!

As a white person, I find the use of whiteface to be racist and anachronistic
We have a joke in our ideas list that plays off that very sentiment. Now you’ve gone and scooped us.
Balderdash! I call shenanigans! You cannot claim it was accidental racism. All racism was perfectly intended. You forgot to mention that your “ancient” strip featured Black on Black crime.
As a pacific islander, I find the lack of any Asians in jail to be racist and anachronistic.
If I was a black person, I would be offended that a black male is the most diminutive inmate. I would also think that crackers cry “racist” way too many times.
LOL – Good one
