Forced bleaching?
Dear Editor,
Your cartoonist is either colour-blind or confused. As one reader pointed out
some time ago, Usain Bolt is a black man. Yet for some reason your cartoonist seems to be lightening his pigmentation each time he’s drawn. A forced bleaching, if you will. In last Saturday’s cartoon, Bolt is the same shade as the tourist.
Clovis needs to add some black to the ink. Black is a beautiful colour. Don’t be afraid to use it. For the record, I am not black but I am an artist.
