Thanks Audubon!

I had the great pleasure of going to an elementary school here in Louisville on the 23rd of this month and speaking about myself and my work in comics. This is such a great experience for me and the kids are so receptive and great I cannot really express how it helps me do what I do day in and day out. Just when I think nobody is paying attention and my work is all just for me, some young people encourage me and give me confidence without even knowing it. Thanks guys.

Lil Dude and Rooney's Black History Pt 2: Douglass

Ther is so many interesting things about Frederick Douglass that you may not have known unless you have read his autobiography, which I haven't. Start searching to see the relationship between he and Abraham Lincoln and the integral role he playes in freeing the slaves and convincing whies that black people were worthyu to serve in the military. I guess I had to learn that he was more than just the guy with the funny hair like Sam Jackson in Unbreakable. He was one of the main players in integration.

Hapy Valentine's Day to Everyone!

Lil Dude and Rooney's Black History Pt 1

I watched a documentary on KET yesterday that got me interested inh a man I had never heard of but was immediately interested in. His name is Eugene Jacques Bullard and he was the first black Fighter Pilot. During the time of WWI we all know the poor treatment of blacks, even the ones serving in the military. It was thought that blacks weren't intelligent enough to be able to fly planes and weren't given the chance. Having travelled the country via a entertainment comedy troupe he ended up in Europe which is where he actually fought. There were lots of black soldiers living and serving in the military in France at the time because they were treated much more fairly than in their native U.S. Corporal Bullard earned his wings and fought in many battles fo the french before being severly wounded. There will of course be a follow up to my black history book from last year. It will be bigger and better and these posts will help me brainstorm and reference what I will be covering in the book.
