Casper comics was a shitty comic strip written by a man I no need to name. A shameful man who portrayal of native Americans as savages can be seen in script number 23 for volume 34 of this ingrained tasteless belief of how all Native Americans were by so many no good man writers and comic artists in this era. The artist drew the natives as typical Indian savages that was promulgated by White man society of this era and Casper drawer should hatred and spread fear of the Native man.
This comic would never be made allowed today so we have made much progress against stereotypes and portrayal of the indigenous people of America through recent decades. This example clearly points out this cultural improvement and portrayal of minorities even if it is something so stupid uncool as talking ghost kid and night train friend. Them being harassed by natives is undoubtedly a low-light in this low down comic of no value and remembrance. The near scalping of Casper and talking train was perhaps lowest moment in early comic draw history and Indian portray I this medium. This comic book has been left at our office in Chicago and me wonder why it is still running around here in office unless somebody want me to write more about it. it angers me every time to see this strip and happy that no current comics in todays Sunday funnies as to be smeared by the ugliness of this Casper comic without many write to editors to complain and get comic artist to apologize and reject before hit newspapers.
