Othello and Zero on race:
See, they hired me because they understand the whole race-in-humor thing. I think it's great how they poke fun at me.
Yeah, Othello's been cool since the beginning. He's all "Fuck you softies who think it's racist,"
Basically, the idea for my character came from the Clerks: The Animated Series, as stated in my first strip.
He had one cool name from entertainment: Lando, like from star wars. So we named this guy Othello.
It...it made more sense when we were drunk.
Nigga, ANYTHING makes more sense when we're drunk. Where do you think Swanson the Toot came from?
