To most people, Bill Cosby is immediately known as Cliff Huxtable from The Cosby Show. Since I never liked The Cosby Show, I know Cosby from Picture Pages, and later from his stand-up special Bill Cosby: Himself. Those are two cherished childhood memories that I'll never be able to look back fondly on due to Bill Cosby being a rapist.
I watched a couple old Picture Pages clips via YouTube before I drew this comic and man is it weird. It wasn't weird as a kid, but going back and watching it as an adult is straaaange. I wonder if adults in the 80s thought the same thing.
The whole Cosby mess makes me wonder what young actors these days will have scandal meet them years down the road. Makes you appreciate guys like Michael J. Fox and Tom Hanks who have successfully navigated insane amounts of fame and still manage to seem like decent human beings. Well done, sirs.

Ps, God, please don't let Tom Hanks be caught in any scandals. I love The 'Burbs too much for that.
