At the time (early 80's) I didn't have ANY clue why that might've been problematic. I hereby formally apologize to all. I'm still learning the insidiousness of racism as it relates to growing up in my 98.5% white world. It doesn't have to be coming from a place of anger or fear or hostility still to be detrimental or hurtful. And I want to say thank you to the three of you for putting this discussion out here. I love learning new info and new perspectives from brilliant people like you.

It could have just as easily been seen as a simple compliment, nothing more.

Might as well face it now, you will NEVER be seen as a person who tries to educate yourself or undo conscious or subconscious thinking that resulted from being born and raised white in "white America." So get rid of the shame and guilt and all that. You will forever be seen as the bad guy. Unfortunately. (And this is no insult to you, just the facts.)

29:18 - 29:40 I felt that, that's just like me. All the big and popular IPs had so many white characters and weird characters but so few black characters. So I was identifying more with the freaky ones with weird appearances or weird skin color. Especially because where I live, there are only a small number of black people, so I always stood out. Just like the purple,red or blue characters.

This was a great piece. Love Beyond the Scenes. Love all the people you are introducing us to, and the stories that are being told. Thanks, Roy!

Who doesn’t love Roy Wood Jr.? Thanks to all for this thoughtful look back at the introduction of such a historically significant, pop-culture character.

I have started enjoying your Podcast, every time I catch one now I watch. I'm now following Rob Armstrong and ordered his book "On a Roll!: A Jump Start" that's just to let you know Trevor is NOT the only member of The Daily Show who is doing something RIGHT! You are all AWESOME ; D Keep it up Please, Thank you

Far as I've seen, all connected with Trevor Noah show, on point! I'm more Robb Armstrong's age, and all this (TY Roy Wood Jr.!) speaks to me.Dialogue, sharing various points of view and messaging...with respect. More of this Please

This is one of the best interviews I've seen for awhile. Josh Johnson is one of my favorite comedians as well. I can also do a great impression of the adults on Peanuts 🤓

❤️ great interview! I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother.

Yo Harriet Glickman let's just say right now is an MVP. You know it's a real serious issue when a white woman says that you should add a black character to your comic

I absolutely love that they brought up wee pals! When I was a kid, I was in a wee pals musical at the East Bay Center for the Performing Arts. It was great!

I love stories like these. People can be surprisingly down to earth and loving. The story about Robb brother heart wrenching and I get it following times like MLKs death same month as his brother it’s wild and then to be able to find something rich in that pain very touching.

I live in Santa Rosa, CA and the Snoopy ice rink is still here. There's also a Charles Schultz museum and stautues of Peanuts characters all over town. There was a lottery years ago and the winners got to paint a character, so they're all different.

It would be nice if did a history of graphic artist Emery Douglas, the influential artist of the Black Panther Party.

Josh Johnson, You. Are. Absolutely. Beautiful, in EVERY way. Dang. I sound like a stalker. 🤣 I just love your conversation, and wish my grandson would listen to you and watch you. You're my favorite "Grandson in my mind" (Gimm=Gem).
