Divided Loyalty?
Barbara Brandon-Croft relates a lively exchange between friends that escalates and ends with one branding the other a traitor to the cause of African American rights. In her comic that revolves around single black female characters, Brandon-Croft presents spirited, sometimes heated discussions addressing issues of race, identity, and relationships -- topics atypical of most strips in the 1990s. Her work debuted in the Detroit Free Press in 1989 and in 1991 she became the first nationally syndicated black female cartoonist. |
