Blah Sinfest

I always feel weird going out on a limb about American racism in case I'm missing some cultural cue.

But equating the segregation of African Americans with "intolerance" towards devils and evil feels ever so slightly off to me. I mean that sort of metaphor is always a bit problematic, but usually it's not quite such an explicit equating-ness(*).

I am reminded of why I try not to read Sinfest. It sucks me in with the adorable drawing style and cute humour, and then bats me around with it's creepy attitudes towards gender etc.

(*)"Equality" has too much of a double meaning for this sentence :)

See, reading that comic, it looks to me like it diverges a little much to be really equating, and if you're wanting to do a strip like that, *some* of the same iconograph has to come in.

But I read it hastily and while barely awake, so.
