"Black Bag - the Fearless Border Collie Bin Liner" is a character in the comic VIZ.
He is a spoof of 1950s comic strips with an irritatingly proper little brat and his "Lassie"_like dog, wandering around the country and generally messing up the lives of the people he meets. Instead of a dog, he's accompanied by a bin liner, blowing in the breeze. Most strips feature the bin liner being callously killed at the end. The strip appears to be a parody of a strip from the Dandy called Black Bob, about a shepherd and his sheepdog.
Black Bag was drawn by Graham Murdoch, under the pen name of Snoddy (his cat). It lasted for a number of years in the late 1980s up to about 1990.
There's little chance of the bin liner blowing again - there were some contractual disagreements between Snoddy and the management of VIZ, but the details are not known.
I hope this BlackBag on AHRQ encourages you to make health services research, and AHRQ, part of your future.
Blacks and Latinos are hospitalized and undergo surgery or other invasive procedures that require a doctor's order at lower rates than white patients, even when their access to care, diagnosis, and illness severity are the same.
I hope that this BlackBag motivates you to seek a career in health services research and explore how AHRQ may help you reach your career goals.
