Puffery to compensate for blatant lack of notability as per WP:GNG. Interview with the subject in an obscure magazine dated 2011 is the only source provided to establish notability of the subject as a 'nationally recognized African-American cartoonist and animator'. Coverage on the subject's person online is nearly non-existent, neither is there anything to suggest that 'Scruples', which by the article's suggestion is his notable work, is significant in its own right. With the notability of his persona or works out of the picture, what remains is that he had created the World's Longest Comic Strip in 1999. This sounds like an achievement deserving of entry into the The Guinness Book of Records, not an encyclopedia. Charmanderblue (talk) 17:55, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Keep as per WP:NTEMP! Coverage by Hartford Courant, NBC Connecticut and Patch is not puffery.
