Okay, let's dig in:
"A black man creates ART, recasting Society in his own image.
His main character is black, of dubious gender. That means what it means.
The character has a nemesis, a man who physically abuses him,
as that is the way that the nemesis expresses his Love.
The character fully and freely publicly declares his Love for his
nemesis, which drives the nemesis (who has a wife and kids)
to greater acts of violence.
The character also has a protector, a white police man who expresses
HIS love for the main character by attacking and imprisoning the
nemesis for his attacks."

Sounds like a storyline you'd see on HBOMAX, or APPLETV, or some other
streaming service, right?
The black artist was George Herriman.
The ART was a newspaper comic strip.
The main character was 'Krazy Kat'.
The nemesis was 'Ignatz Mouse'.
The protector was a dog, "Offica Pup'.
Herriman created his Krazy Kat in 1910,
110 years ago.
It ran in newspapers until Herriman's death in 1944.
