Ugh. Really? “Colored” is old racist language for Black people. Archie Bunker, “America’s Favorite Bigot”, used it on All in the Family back in the 70’s.
This strip should not have been printed in 2021. It’s deeply offensive. I get that practically nobody cared about racism until recently, but saying that the strip was drawn in 1971 doesn’t make it OK to publish today.
Both Disney and Warner Brothers have mothballed content from their early days depicting minorities in questionable ways. GoComics should follow suit.
