Kept out of the pages of white-owned newspapers, Black cartoonists found space to address the joys, the horrors, and the everyday realities of Black life in America. From Jay Jacksons anti-racist time travel adventure serial Bungleton Green, to Morrie Turners radical mixed-race strip Dinky Fellas, to the afrofuturist comics of Yaounde Onli and Turtel Onli, to National Book Award-winning novelist Charles Johnsons blistering and deeply funny gag cartoons, this is work that has for far too long been excluded and overlooked.
