People (Homo Sapiens) did not originate independently in different parts of the globe, but originated in Africa and migrated from there to the rest of the world.

I would like to note that the first comic books were nothing but reprints of newspaper comic strips so comic books should not be included in the discussion. Also Blondie is hardly a recent strip.

Would you deny F.W. de Klerk as an African? You would refer to him as such, but qualify it by saying a Hugenot or Boor or Afrikaans.
As Egyptians tend to feature Neanderthal DNA, this separates them from sub-Saharan Africans, most of whom sharply lack any Neanderthal DNA, simply representing Cro-Magnon.
