is this meant to be mocking the drunkards' conversation or is it going "lol negro" along with them?

every time I open up my Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics the preponderance of racist stereotypes (esp of black people, but also Chinese, Hispanics, Jews, etc.) is kinda breathtaking. Up until the 60s its like every single strip was populated by blatantly racist caricatures. Even the good ones! with very, VERY few exceptions

Awesome, thanks for the link! My daughter has been getting into comics the last couple of months (the same way she gets into anything, total immersion) and I was making the case to her just the other day for Bushmiller's genius.
