When Wee Pals was first created, bringing black characters to the comics’ pages was by no means an easy task. In 1965, only five major newspapers published the strip. It was not until 1968 -- and the tragic assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. -- that Wee Pals achieved nationwide acceptance. Within three months of King’s death, the strip was appearing in over 100 newspapers nationwide.

For a comic that prides itself on actual history, I guess they don’t want to share how “sagging pants” originated in the prison system.

Could care less where it started, it’s still disgusting. Last weekend, I saw a guy wearing his pants right below his butt!! I was wondering when they were going to fall down. If he had to run for his life it would have been a very funny looking run or fall flat on his face.
