George Herriman is arguably one of the first major black artists in comics.
And the only reason for that is because NO ONE KNEW HE WAS BLACK.
He was light skinned enough to be white passing & hid that fact into old age so that he WOULD be able to continue drawing largely due to rampant racism.

This movie isn't his best work, but does it have to be?
Artists shouldn't be expected to constantly put out Emmy-worthy work or outstanding cinema, they're human, and they should be allowed to experiment with the tone of their work as they evolve as people.

All this backlash because an artist decided to create something dumb and vulgar?
The guy is talented and has played a significant role in a lot of people's childhoods, but you're all really putting him on a pedestal and making yourselves mad over nothing.
