George Herriman is arguably one of the first major black artists in comics.
And the only reason for that is because NO ONE KNEW HE WAS BLACK.
He was light skinned enough to be white passing & hid that fact into old age so that he WOULD be able to continue drawing largely due to rampant racism.

Let's take the opportunity of Scott Adams' passing to praise again Bill Watterson.
Scott Adams is dead. Without excusing or condoning anything he said, I think it was very hard for a lot of creative people, including him, to watch their entire art form collapse as newspapers stopped running comics, and that resentment was fertile soil for the reaction that he'll be remembered for.
