No, that’s not an excerpt from some ignorant comic from the days before enlightened political correctness. That particular image is copyright 2006, The History Channel.
I pulled it from a promotional comic for the archaeology series Digging for the Truth, which has provided steady employment for my good friend Mark (Bob) Boszko for the last two years. Now, Bob has nothing to do with this comic. But regardless, I had to pick this thing up, just so I could brag about the tangental, Kevin Bacon-like connection I have to the show. “Hey, I know the guy who draws the maps for the show this giveaway comic is based on.” That almost makes me famous.
But man, material like this makes me glad I went through all the effort of lifting it and adding it to my stack. That’s some fine stereotypin’ there, Lou.
