No, Georges Remi (Hergé) did that with Tintin in the Congo (1931)...
The book is restricted in some countries (not displayed on bookshelves) and outright banned in others...

But Mark Knight's cartoon is nothing like those drawings. He has captured Serena's essential features and drawn her as she was on the day (angry and loud). Insensitive it may be, but it is nothing like the "coon caricatures" or "Sambo cartoons" to which it is being likened.
Her essential features in the msasive lips she doesn't have?
