1. Ehhhhh.... you're wrong. |
|
2003 Aaron McGruder = 1978 G.B. Tredeau.
He's brilliantly subversive. I love Boondocks.

22. Or 1988 Burke Breathed... |

Boondocks is by far the best strip I've read in years.

26. Nope, you're not the only one. Of course it's a double entendre... |

...as in "carpet munching," hello?
Aaron is a devious genius.
P.S. Why is this "going too far?"

28. I guess it is a matter of taste, but I just think that this type of stuff |
|
should be off limits in a comic strip. Here on DU it would be funny as hell. Well, actually I thought it was funny as hell in Aaron's strip, but maybe a little beyond the pale.

30. Humor must be banned from comics too |
|
I am so sick and tired of comics providing social commentary and nay, HUMOR at times. It just disgusts me.

I just think that the sex lives of public figures should be off limits in political cartoons.
Well, it's not really the sex lives, it just that this one in particular conjures up such graphic images.

7. No problem from my perspective |
|
Substitute "white" for "black." The net effect is the same. There's nothing racist in this cartoon.
The only thing I would change is "government employee" to "government parasite."

If only everyone had his intelligence and courage, including me. I wonder what his parents are like, to have produced such as he is.

He's always a joy to read. I also love his appearances on CSPAN, but wish they wouldn't keep cutting him off. He's not afraid to speak the truth.
