Vic Lockman ( October 19, 1927 – June 1, 2017)[1] was an American Christian cartoonist and comic strip writer.
His son, Mark Thomas Lockman (1952–1989) was a journalist, to whom one of Vic's cartoon books was dedicated.
In 1985 Lockman created “Who’s Behind the South African Crisis?”, the pro-apartheid comic as a supplement to newsletters published by the Canadian League of Rights.
According to Michael Beukert, "While the blatant racism expressed by the cartoon is shocking, it outlines many of the tropes which were commonly articulated by right-wing and even liberal commentators sympathetic to South Africa.
[citation needed] Furthermore, the most violently racist of the tropes produced below — including the idea that Africans are incapable of governing themselves, and the threat of black violence against young white women — were contemporaneously being repeated by newspaper columnists in places like the Toronto Sun.
