Product Description
The Boondocks is a rich, multilayered comic strip that offers a frank yet often funny look at race in America. It starts with a simple premise: Two young boys, Riley and Huey, move from innercity Chicago to live with their grandfather. The tension increases, however, because the two boys are African-Americans now compelled to adapt to a white suburban world. They must take all they've learned in the "hood and apply it to life in the 'burbs. Superbly illustrated, The Boondocks has stirred controversy, attracted widespread media coverage, and won readers who've applauded McGruder's unapologetic and humorous approach to race.
About the Author
McGruder has become a widely heard and respected commentator on race, politics, and entertainment. The cartoonist was born in Chicago but grew up in racially diverse Columbia, Maryland. The Boondocks first saw print in the student newspaper at the University of Maryland where he majored in Afro-American studies.

AN EXCELLENT FOLLOW-UP COLLECTION,
Ce commentaire est de: Fresh For '01.... You Suckas: The Boondocks (Paperback)
This collection is an excellent follow-up to 2000's Because I Know You Don't Read The Newspaper. It's good to see another strong, interesting character like Caesar join Huey, Riley (...I mean Esco), their granddad, the DuBois family (Jazmine, Tom, and Sarah) and the clueles Cindy in whitebread Woodcrest. This comic is a breath of fresh (no pun intended) air in my daily paper. It's a shame that I only get one new strip a day though. Still, one Boondocks makes up for the void that fills the rest of the page. Thank you Aaron.

Working the great loophole...,
By A Customer
Ce commentaire est de: Fresh For '01.... You Suckas: The Boondocks (Paperback)
Aaron McGruder uses one of America's last great loophole, being African-American, to produce some ridiculously funny stuff. Few white authors in America (sans Andy Rooney) could get away with any if this, but the fact the McGruder is black gets him a free pass. I really don't care, because its good stuff.
