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.

Examines life in America, with a focus on politics, from the perspective of two African-American children in over 800 strips.

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 inner-city Chicago to live with their grandfather in the suburbs. 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. In this second collection of Boondocks cartoons, readers can get another look at this innovative strip.

Aaron McGruder's hilariously offensive comic strip has never been afraid to tell it like it is. Now Huey, Riley and Granddad have their own hit animated series on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, the masses are praising McGruder's precocious preteens and their brilliant politically and racially charged humour. Also available are Public Enemy # 2, Birth of a Nation and A Right To Be Hostile.

Wry and honest essays on the everyday conditions of professional life at a "second-rate" university, with implications for our understanding of higher education in general.

A collection of more than five hundred strips from the popular and subversive comic strip The Boondocks provides a satirical look at the follies, foibles, and complexities of modern life from an African-American perspective as it offers a provocative take on Condoleezza Rice's love life, Dick Cheney, the war in Iraq, The Passion of Christ, and more.
