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.

I would like to begin by saying "DAMM BROTHER YOU MUST HAVE HAD ONE F***ED UP CHILDHOOD"... I wonder if all of this is from a little boy who couldnot handle being around people in general. I have to ask, were you a loner when you grew up?. I find you strip offensive and very out of touch with today's real African American movement
