Jack: The World Cup is coming up. Who do you think will win? Mondo: Don't know. It would be cool if it was the United States or Mexico. Jack: Mexico? Mondo: Dude, I'm Mexican-American. If Mexico wins, I'm part of it. Jack: Cool. I'm English-German-French-Italian-American. Mondo: You look it.
I said it before and I’ll say it again. The strip was great with its diverse cast. None of the kids are defined by their race and when they do bring it up, it’s usually for a little gag. Still, I’m glad that Jack and Mondo are taking pride in their respective heritages.
