The Boondocks by Aaron Mcgruder
The Boondocks took the syndication world by storm. The notoriety landed Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder in publications ranging from Time magazine to People magazine which named him one of the 25 Most Intriguing People of '99. Centered around the experiences of two young African-American boys, Huey and Riley, who move from inner-city Chicago to the suburbs (or the boondocks to them), the strip fuses hip-hop sensibilities with Japanese anime-style drawings and a candid discussion of race. In this first collection of Boondocks cartoons, you'll discover the funny yet revealing combination of superb art and envelope-pushing content in one of the most unique strips ever.
McGruder has established himself as a well-known and respected commentator on race, politics, and pop culture. The cartoonist was born in Chicago but grew up in Columbia, Maryland, which is racially diverse. The Boondocks first appeared in the University of Maryland's student newspaper, where he studied in Afro-American studies.
