Eisner

I chose to read The Spirit, as I've heard of it but never read it. When I saw the cover I could already tell I was in for some great characters. And by great, I mean racist and stereotypical. The grumpy old man to the blonde vixen, to the black "monkey". Even The Spirit himself is just a rich, good looking white man. But to elaborate on the monkey aspect, the character is short, black, with ape like features; which I guess goes well with his grammar and role as a servant. The ones with the gorgeous oval lips. When I finally started to read it, I noticed my predictions to be true. I also noticed that he doesn't do as much saving. Someone else does an action to catch the bad guy while The Spirit gets all the credit. One can say it's like he's letting his "slave" do his work for him, as if calling him master wasn't enough. I'm guessing he's taking care of The Spirit's house, too.
