The topic of diversity in comics is explored in the podcast episodes, particularly in the context of how mainstream publishers have handled the depiction of characters like Black Panther and Blade, as well as the efforts of independent creators to bring more diverse representation and perspectives to the medium.

In Episode 435 of The Infamous Podcast, the discussion touches on the strengths and weaknesses of the writing, artwork, and world-building in Eric July's Rippaverse Comics, and how they address the issue of diversity. The episode also reflects on the challenges faced by independent creators and the influences that shaped the host's own creative work.

Additionally, Part II of the Peanuts episode on Stuff You Should Know highlights Charles M. Schulz's groundbreaking decision to introduce Franklin, the first Black character in the Peanuts comic strip, as a significant moment for diversity in comics.
