"Intelligent, progressive, and damn funny comics are what every paper needs
and that’s what Keith delivers every week." -

Great piece of work, Keith. Mr. Cornelius was truly a (overused word but quite appropriate!) PIONEER, and did a great service to ALL Americans and people around the world. Sad to see him go…… Love your artwork!!! Steve.
And a lil’ white girl like me could see black kids having fun, which challenged rigid family beliefs about “those people” and helped turn me into the librul I am. Thank you Mr. Cornelius!
When I was young, there were no minorities around so I never learned ignorance. Soul train for me was just another fun show to watch.
I didn’t see “black” or “white”, just people. I’m married now, my wife is a different race than I am. My children have grown up without becoming ignorant.
People like Mr. Cornelius are important because they break the bonds of prejudice by showing just how much alike we really are. He will be missed.
