Why are bullies in cartoons and movies usually pictured as stocky, overgrown, brutish types? Is that how they appear from school days, and continue to appear in later life? It’s a common stereotype, involving even women, but is it valid. Pseudo science in the last few centuries used this method to “identify” criminals and mentally inferior types, and especially to validate racial theories toward slavery..I know, that’s a big burden on this cartoon. It just occurred to me to comment on it.

Is Spike into B&D? Does Sluggo feed this fetish???

At least Sluggo’s hands are free so he can escape easier after Spike leaves.

Sluggo’s the visual equivalent of a tough scrapper himself. So much for stereotypes.
