ITA, that's when the strip was at its best. But it seemed like the only thing of substance he could say about Jasmine was that she was confused. That seemed awfully...trite..for a man of McGruder's obvious talent and intellect. I know people have that opinion of biracial folks, and everyone's entitled to it, but at some point it just sounds tired.
There haven't been any strong female presences in the strip since he dropped Cindy and Jasmine to recurring status. I'm hoping that someday he'll feel inspired enough to come up with some fresh material for the both of them and bring them back.
Oh, and after reading that article, I just have one thing to say: Condoleeza Rice is a brave you-know-what to ask McGruder to work her into his strip.
