This is one of the first ones and it reran today since Aaron McGruder is on hiatus for 6months. But this is one of my favorite things in print. It started running in 2000? 2001?

I've caught 2 episodes of the cartoon on Adult Swimand found it really good and unlike any other cartoon on TV. But with the comic strip it stays current and runs along side Garfield and Peanuts and breathes life into something dead, the funny section. Smart humor and sharing of ideas will be entertaining forever.

boondocks always struck me as mcgruder just listening to too much WBAI and too much paris, then sitting down and writing.

yeah i used to read Calvin & Hobbes when I was little, and now I realize how deeply philisophical it was. Boondocks is pretty good, I enjoy reading the books when I am in Borders, the cartoon is all right, not as good as the comic, but it's still good at pissing off conservatives.

Paris, are you refering to the rapper? Or who? Do you think that his ideas are not ground breaking? If so I agree but to be putting it out the way he is, not just on a web site or a weekly free paper but coast to coast in daily newspapers. I think thats radical. Plus I like 3 and four frame comics as an art form. Minimal art that conveys an opinion.

Besides Ziggy are there any Republican tinged comics?

yeah. the rapper.

i don't know. i just listen to WBAI all the time and i feel like mcgruder's thought process is on auto-pilot and he's just regurgitating things verbatim from the afrocentric programs on the station. i think he gets a lot of credit for basically being pretty lazy.

Its not a fast action cartoon, very slow and delibrate. The self hating black man character comes across even angrier and self hating.


CH
I'm not sure where McGruder gets his politcal knowledge but he does come up with ongoing story lines not geared to politics. ( genearational differences between grand parents and kids- music differences-chores-back talking to yr elders, internet dating, bet and upn not making interesting tv, interacial kids adapting at school )

If in fact McGruder is is copying WBAI or Public Enemy cira '91 or Chomsky politically its still cool to me that he's putting it in the form of a cartoon that some 14 yr old kid in Texas can read over Cheerios.


Oh and the whole week of comics about trying to get Condi Rice a boyfriend
was hilarious.

Man, i wish they ran that in louisville. The closest things we get to good comics here are fox-trot and speedbump. Not bad really, but no boondocks from the few I've read. We haven't had a greta comic since calvin and hobbes went out.

I'd like to think I was like calvina s a kid, I even had a tiger I called hobbes too.
