yay 4 the Boondocks

This is the only "The Boondocks" thread i've found on GC...smh, other people must be missing out. Anyway, even though I never really got around to reading The Boondocks, the show had me rolling and I think I'll be catching it on the regular.

Uncle Ruckus's song blew me...Riley shooting dude threw the window blew me...and i'm mad the Granddad missed a piece of the movement cuz he wanted to get his raincoat, lol.

And interesting review by the dude from NPR, however, I didn't see anything wrong w/ McGruder's approach. You can't really compare it to South Park, Dave Chappelle show, or Everybody Hates Chris because the type of humor doesn't seem to be same. They all raise uncomfortable truths but I feel The Boondocks approach (at least from what I got from the show) is a dryer humor when it comes to political and socio-economic truths. Edgier? Maybe, but what's wrong with that?
