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.

A rather long video, and not something I would normally watch, but it does gather a lot of good info about Aaron in one place.

Had some decent info but god is that channel annoying. TL;DW he told sony that he couldn’t work as fast as they wanted so they replaced him. S5 was also cancelled quietly because they felt it was taking too long.

Normally, because of how annoying the channel was, i would have not finished the video, much less posted it. But yes, there was some good info in it.
