Huck-hankering leads to a problem for the artist:

Hop must have looked at the fleeing man and thought "I'm just not very good at this. I'm not very good at all. Perhaps I should try another line, something where - - hold on, Hearst wants another strip, $475 a week. I'd better get to it, then."

By the way, of course these are offensive, and that goes without saying unless you're a boot-clicker, but I'm not going to insult your intelligence with one of those "standards were different then" speeches that assumes you know little about the past. But I have to say this in case anyone thinks I'm posting these to endorse Hop's racist cliches.
