This is the second episode of the web series: Annoy Charlie Smith, Inc. In this episode, Charlie is repeatedly mistaken for another person in the office. You know where this is going…

I’m not even sure how I came across this, but I’m so glad I did. It’s entitled “I Am Curious (Black)!” and Cartoons and Comic Books explains:
“Comic books sometimes try to be important and make a statement about some social issue of the day. This sort of thing was all the rage in the earlier 70s when you had some very good stories such as those in Denny O’Neil and Neal Adams’ Green Lantern/Green Arrow series. This story that I featured is from Lois Lane 109 and was written by Robert Kanigher. It is a well meaning but very goofy story if I may say so myself.” – Millsie
Head over to Cartoons and Comic Books for an explanation and to read the whole thing (well worth it).
