Here's another fact I learned recently.
Back in the early days of movies, it was common for a vaudeville to show a one reel cartoon in the middle of the live acts.
Because blackface performers were popular in those days a lot of the early cartoon were based on blackface comedians.
That's why so many wear white gloves, have black bodies and white lips.
