Racist Gag Panel.

Now here’s a gag panel that you’re going to find offensive, but was too “amusing” to pass up:
HEY KIDS, AREN’T BLACK PEOPLE LAZY? ISN’T THAT FUNNY? BUY WAR BONDS!
Okay to be fair, that was pre-US involvmeent in the war…

They look like they could be related to Mickey Mouse or Goofy…..They don't look human at all….

That would actually be pretty funny if it were recycled in a non-racist context. Hell, I should make it about myself.

Gee, wasn't it nice back then without all that horrible political correctness?

The Negrow is not civilised, it is not in his nature!
Apart from the racial discrimination typical of those days, I find the joke to be funnier than the last ones you posted. Imagine Garfield for instance saying that. As a matter of fact, I think they had a similiar joke.

Definitively, the problem was not in the joke itself (which is funny) but in the context. The ridiculous and almost animal like representation of those two black men is bad enough, and turns into a racist comment what could have been a funny joke.
Anyway, you have to love the white gloves, they really remind of Disney characters as Dierna says.

It is fascinating how they made a caricature of black men that has little to no resemblance of how they really look. I'd like to see how they portrayed caucasians, american natives or asians.

Hey, i thought mexicans and native americans were lazy… So all non-caucasian people are lazy?

I dunno, I can tell you here in Spain we're mainly mediterraneans and we love “siestas”.
