Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for May 17, 2019

Except for Ray, black characters have been reduced to plot devices for the white characters.

Who was Petit-Pois?

there was also calvin, and rufus.

They have the people diversity down, now where are the animals?

I always wondered what happened to Thor.

That second letter sounds like it’s from one of those folks who hates “forced diversity.” That is, more than one character who’s different from their norm.

I don’t remember Petit-Pois, Jeanie, and May, and I’m not sure about Des. How often did any of them appear?

Plus a couple Asians, such as Honey and Kim. Any Native Americans?

Well, when you call yourself out for a perceived flaw, it is usually a good idea to already have a solution in mind. Soooo, what’s up?

Touché, Garry! We all tend to view things through our own filters and often come up with totally opposite conclusions.

Interesting that Trudeau gave no attribution, especially to source section of the country, in that last panel.

As Aesop once said, “You can’t please everyone!”
