‘Boondocks’ comic strip unlikely to appear in newspapers againThe life of “The Boondocks,” the nationally published, controversial comic strip created by university alumnus Aaron McGruder, may be at its end, according to Universal Press Syndicate.
“Although Aaron McGruder has made no statement about retiring or resuming The Boondocks ... newspapers should not count on it coming back in the foreseeable future,” according to a Sept. 25 news release by the group.
The possible end of the strip leaves questions unanswered about the intentions of McGruder, 31, whose comic ran in more than 300 newspapers in just six years. McGruder took a six-month rest from writing the strip in March and was slated to return in September. But “numerous” attempts by editors to get McGruder to state his comeback date were unsuccessful, the release said.

Meh.
Never thought it was funny, really.
Ever.
But, I'm certain Wednesday will be unhappy...

I like Boondocks. I would miss it.

I kinda want to replace my Wallace avathar with Riley "Escobar" Freeman. Or Ruckus. He's batshit crazy.

I've always loved the comic strip. I like the cartoon too, but the strip is better.
