More like Blackwash-tober. What's next? Negrovember? All joking aside, that's a really interesting fact to learn about King Dice!King Dice’s primary inspiration was Cab Calloway, so at least you could make a decent argument for a humanized version of him being black, despite this doodle having little resemblance to the late great Cab himself. It’s sad that this is the first contribution to Blaxploitation-Tober that comes the closest to using a canonically black character.
But LOL whoever drew that Harley did not think through the implications of making the poster child for Battered Wife Syndrome and the accomplice to a homicidal clown mobster a black woman.
The Starfire one as a drawing is at least cute, even if I think it’s pretty pointless and awkward to make what’s always been an alien with unnaturally colored orange skin more human-looking for virtue signal gold stars.
I think the Harley is unrecognizable without her signature colors, outfit and the 'Puddin' hair clip. Plus the arms seem...really thin. Her shoulders look like ball socket joints on an action figure.
Velma looks adorable in the last bit of pictures, although her hands look a bit tiny. I just don't understand why she has to be black. What does it add?
