Roller Bladers

It’s unfortunate that these particular roller-bladers appear to be Asian, because I did not intend to make an “Asians have small penises” joke.  If anything, I was making a “self-improvement freaks are compensating for something” joke.  I think it would have been a funnier strip if people weren’t left wondering which way I was going with that gag.

It actually raises the issue of minority representation in clip art collections.  I have noticed that happy white people are disproportionately represented among the hundreds of thousands of images in my commercially-bought collection.  That works well for PartiallyClips, because it’s often upper middle class sensibilities that I am making fun of.  But it might help my creative processes if I had either more miserable-looking white people or more happy-looking minorities to choose from.  Well, I’m working with what I’ve got.
