The Boondocks was a daily syndicated comic strip written and originally drawn by Aaron McGruder that ran from 1996 to 2006. Created by McGruder in 1996 for Hitlist.com, an early online music website, it was printed in the monthly hip hop magazine The Source in 1997. As it gained popularity, the comic strip was picked up by the Universal Press Syndicate and made its national debut on April 19, 1999. A popular and controversial strip, The Boondocks satirizes African-American culture and American politics as seen through the eyes of young African American radical Huey Freeman. McGruder's syndicate said it was among the biggest launches the company ever had.

As I mentioned in this post, i have recovered a section of Aaron's old website where they (Aaron, and his webmaster) would repost certain guestbook entries. These entries have nothing to do with the day's strip, as they were left previously and posted on later dates.

I have a feeling that this trash will only serve to alert more and more pandering white fence sitters to the true nature of you're anti white anti American agenda, and for that I must thank you.

Dear Adam Mc Gruder
WHY do you picture a little African-American girl like such a gargoyle ? With a giant haystack hairdo and NO CHIN ?? While you portray other people, like her grandfather, like a normal human being ? Could you let me know ? Thanks!
