This deformed monstrosity sure is creepy looking, isn't it? I can't imagine it giving a young child anything but nightmares. What is it, some kind of mutated pederast woodchuck?
I also don't get how it's supposed to be "a positive role model for young black men." If this thing is supposed to be a representation, it's as patently racist as anything on exhibit at the Jim Crow Museum.
UPDATE: Apparently the gender-confused Tasmanian Devil with the lazy eye isn't Speedy--the character here is.
So what the hell is with the freak steroidal chipmunk, and why was it the illustration chosen for this story?
