The boondocks : because I know you don't read the newspapers

**The first anthology of the beloved comic strip that inspired the critically acclaimed Cartoon Network show.** In 1999, Aaron McGruder launched a cultural phenomenon with his smart and bitingly satirical comic strip, __The Boondocks__. It centers on 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. 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.
