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.

The only thing I ever heard about J Edgar Hoover, was that he liked wearing women's clothing. All the other stuff i had to find out myself. It is fucked up how hung up on that Boomers, and a lot of my fellow X'ers are.

"Hoover dam"? More like Hoover dyke, am I right?
