Same as my other review. I love McGruder’s works.

The resemblance between what this has to say about Al Gore and the last two democratic campaigns? Uncanny.

"Read, Dummy!"

Another classic bunch of strips from [a: Aaron McGruder|29851|Aaron McGruder|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1208902026p2/29851.jpg] that include a number of classic Boondocks moments. Why not repay George Lucas with a kick to the butt for what he did in The Phantom Menace? How exactly do you take the presidential debates seriously when everyone is essentially saying the same thing? If you're a revolutionary, can you really be a census taker or is that working for The Man? All of this and more mixed together with the commentary that makes these strips so unique.

This is a great collection and is truly where the strip begins to become the entity that has made it such a classic and long-lasting contribution to the papers it ran in. McGruder has truly found his voice and a comfortable tone with which to lambaste everyone who comes his way with his right to be hostile. The Boondocks is an incredible strip, one everyone should read at least once in their lives. The census series alone is a great starting point if I do say so myself. Or maybe Huey's battle against procrastination when it comes to lawn mowing... Hmm...
