    That second letter sounds like it’s from one of those folks who hates “forced diversity.” That is, more than one character who’s different from their norm.

    I don’t remember Petit-Pois, Jeanie, and May, and I’m not sure about Des. How often did any of them appear?

    Plus a couple Asians, such as Honey and Kim. Any Native Americans?

    Touché, Garry! We all tend to view things through our own filters and often come up with totally opposite conclusions.

    Interesting that Trudeau gave no attribution, especially to source section of the country, in that last panel.
