Motto. As it happens, I know of an example relating to this very strip. In the late sixties, MAD ran a feature showing what would happen if newspaper comic characters took on social issues of the day. In the Mandrake the Magician parody, Lothar rebels against Mandrake and snatches his wand. Then he transports himself to a tropical island and says, "Crazy, man! Now I can dodge the draft like Cassius Clay, be Jewish like Sammy Davis Jr., and live in Bimini like Adam Clayton Powell [Jr.]!" Uh, thank you 1960s MAD; you just took a stereotype and made it worse.
