Over at Booksteve's Library, there's a number of great big panels of "Home Folks" by African American cartoonist Jay Jackson. Not a lot is known about Mr. Jackson, who passed away suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 49 in 1954.
"His weekly panel HOME FOLKS, always crowded with many characters and variations on a theme a la a number of classic cartoon panels dating back to the 1920s, is brilliant. Running exclusively in small African-American newspapers, week after week he managed to hit the nail on the head regarding not just exclusively the black experience but human life in general--even animal life at times"
There are more panels at the above link.
