CANONICALLY CRUMB #7 Whiteman: A Story of Civilization in Crisis

It's the first of eventually two parts of our exploration of the seminal Crummyverse character Whiteman. Today we'll look at the comic from ZAP #1 and discuss it's meaning, Crumb's use of offensive black stereotypes, and a bit about his father, Charles Crumb Sr.
