TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON
This cartoon has four panels. The first three panels show three bones talking in a blank space. The three bones – a rib bone, a thigh bone, and a hip bone – are anthropomorphized, with cartoon faces, arms and legs. They’re wearing white gloves with rolls at the wrist, like Mickey Mouse.
The fourth panel shows two human beings talking in a park.
PANEL 1
Rib Bone is talking to Thigh Bone and Hip Bone. Hip Bone, in particular, looks concerned.
RIB BONE: Thigh bone and hip bone! How’s it going?
THIGH BONE: Not good, Rib.
HIP BONE: We’ve been trying everything to get into this guy named Sam…
PANEL 2
In a closer shot, Thigh Bone leans back, laughing, and Hip Bone, still looking concerned, shrugs.
THIGH BONE: First Sam did a hilarious fake Asian accent! I love funny Asian accents, so I thought, “I’m in!”
HIP BONE: But then Sam said he was just joking, and as we all know, saying it’s a joke means it can’t be racist.
PANEL 3
A shot of the three bones. Rib Bone listens with a neutral expression and gosh darn it I just now realized, looking at the cartoon as I type the transcript, that I drew a mustache on Rib Bone in panel 1, but forgot the mustache in panel 3. Hold on, I’ll be back in a few minutes.
I’m back. Rib Bone, sporting a thick, luscious mustache, has a neutral expression as oh geez I just noticed I forgot to draw Rib Bone’s arm. Wait here, I’ll be right back.
Okay! Rib Bone, a character with both a mustache and arms, listens with a neutral expression. Thigh Bone steeples their fingers and is smiling in anticipation, and Hip Bone is grinning hugely.
THIGH BONE: Then Sam talked about how bad white men have it and how much easier it is for Blacks to find jobs.
HIP BONE: Exactly what I think! I thought for sure I was in! But then he said…
PANEL 4
Two men stand talking in a park. The first man — Sam — is white, blonde, wearing a button-up tan shirt, brown slacks, and a nice-looking pair of sneakers. He is yelling and waving his arms, obviously angry. The other man has brown skin, black hair, and a van dyke beard. He’s wearing an orange tee with a “!” design, and is rolling his eyes.
SAM: I DON’T HAVE A RACIST BONE IN MY BODY!
