Who is the best black cartoonist of our generation ever since Dwayne McDuffie's death?
>>
>>78632077
Black people don't read comics, black people only love sports, rap music and Sex, other things are acting white
>>
McGruder?
>>
>>78632221
and video games and classic anime (particularly the stuff on toonami)
seriously, most black people love dragonball Z and naruto

>>78632251
I would say him, but he's more of a writer than cartoonist
>>
>>78632263
>I would say him, but he's more of a writer than cartoonist
he did draw the strip until 2003

Racism is no joke, my friend. You should think about how the things that you say might be hurtful to others or be taken seriously when you say negative things like this.

>>78632402
Black people themselves constantly said that Mr Enter

>>78632077
Jon Stewart is a boring-ass lantern, and JonxSheira is a garbage ship.

Also him crying racism like a bitch when people criticized that stupid BP page of his made me lose a lot of respect for him. Although he's still the only black /co/ creator I can name off the top of my head.
>>
David Walker is starting to get some play.
>>
>>78632263
>I would say him, but he's more of a writer than cartoonist
You got them mixed up. McGruder was an actual cartoonist - he wrote, drew and lettered his own comic, while McDuffie just wrote.
>>
>>78632463
True, but that doesn't mean it's not a hurtful thing to say. That's still a messed stereotype that is provably untrue.
>>
>>78632221
I LOVE comics. I love writing them and I love reading them.

I'm not into sex and barely into sports. Rap's cool enough. Only white people have accused me of acting white.

But back to best current Black /co/ creator, I'm not sure. I haven't been able to read any of Walker's work. What's Kyle Baker been up to lately?
>>
>>78632221
Plenty of black rappers reference comic books all the time.

There's one guy who's thing is that he acts like a supervillian and who uses Dr Doom and Dr Doom-like imagery.
>>
>>78632077
Ian Jones-Quartey?
>>
People actually care if a creator is a certain race? If the show is good why should the skin matter?
>>
>>78632077
The guy who does Super Pro KO.

>>78632221
I live in a black ghetto and no black people here read comics at all. Literally the whitest thing in existence. Plus remember that the industry is literally almost 100% white, so there's not really many people to choose from.
>>
>>78633656
MF Doom even said he doesn't read comics and that all the nerd stuff is just a gimmick.
>>
>>78633744
To be fair, that would require reading at all.

Kyle Baker is black? He looks white.....ish.
>>
>>78634296
He at least identifies as black AFAIK.

Though like a lot of /co/ creators he seems to not make a point of openly identifying at all if he can help it. Which is probably for the best.

I mean I would love for there to be more black creators. But for the most part I don't complain about it and just go about creating stuff myself. Now there's more black creators. Problem solved.

Eventually /co/ will admit that it's tsundere for Jimmie Robinson's Bomb Queen.

>>78633756
He's a liar then.

Just like another heavyset dark skinned black guy...

Wu-Tang Clan are huge comic fans.

What about best white?

Dave Sim.
>>
>>78633744
Hip hop is overwhelmingly black, with lots of white fans. Comics are overwhelmingly white with lots of black fans.
I am all for shaking things up, but I don't really see any of this shit as a pressing concern.
>>
Olivier Chopiel, Jimmie Robinson, Brian Stelbreeze to name a few.
>>
...Why have none of you anons mentioned Ronald Wimberly? I thought Prince of Cats was beloved on here!

the answer will never not be Milton Knight

>>78633656
Only popular ones where it's prominent are MF DOOM, Czarface, Ghostface Killah, and a few others. And their references are not deep at all. And those guys are way less popular than guys like Future or Kanye

Mcduffie is a bigdummy between this and about half of the Milestone books

Coipel is a god.

To be fair you can't really reference that deep with songs anyway.

Also Jay Z is pretty big and he named his album Kingdom Come, and in the title song it references Batman and Superman
>>
>>78637286
The Zeta project was also kind of meh

You mean the terrible artist on the She Hulk fill ins ? /co/ hates him. We love Pulido though.

>>78640441
He's remembered too much as black baby Jesus for the DCAU, where he was just a major contribute and not the biggest of guys for you. Of his comics, only Damage Control, Icon and Hardware are really stand out and as the Milestone EIC he signed off on a lot of really retarded plotlines and would outright soapbox without any villainous allegories as a writer like in Static

Mcduffie is just ok, not one of the best, probably heavily overrated because of how he would interact positively with the community on a regular basis. And because he was black too, cue triggered anons frantically trying to redirect this post to /pol/

False

But it has been repeatedly proven that /co/ is and always has been a black board anon.

I could imagine an entire comic book by this black artist. I doubt /co/ would appreciate it, though.
>>

The filename says bird, but this looks like people fucking to me.
>>
>>78648258
That's because you don't understand art. Or racial minorities. Or their art.
>>
>>78648171
Abstract ulgy shit? Yes, most people wouldn't like it outside of sticking it on a wall because it matches your curtains.

No they do read comics, but not comics by other black people
