    As I mentioned in this post, i have recovered a section of Aaron’s old website where they (Aaron, and his webmaster) would repost certain guestbook entries. These entries have nothing to do with the day’s strip, as they were left previously and posted on later dates.

    You are doing exactly what the white man wants us to do: he wants us divided in half so he can take us down one by one! With a comic like this you are trying to brake down all the barriers the civil rights leaders of the past has built for us.

      I appreciate you obtaining these bits of history? context? and sharing them. Even if I’m having some trouble parsing this particular one. You don’t usually hear people describing the civil rights movement as building barriers.

        I think that is why this one got a mention originally. From the use of brake vs break to the civil rights movement building barriers and a perceived racist comic strip braking (sic) down the barriers built by them. The whole thing is a muddled confused mess.
