About this ebook
The Boondocks is a rich, multilayered comic strip that offers a frank yet often funny look at race in America. It starts with a simple premise: Two young boys, Riley and Huey, move from inner-city Chicago to live with their grandfather in the suburbs. The tension increases, however, because the two boys are African-Americans now compelled to adapt to a white suburban world. They must take all they've learned in the "hood" and apply it to life in the 'burbs. Superbly illustrated, The Boondocks has stirred controversy, attracted widespread media coverage, and won readers who've applauded McGruder's unapologetic and humorous approach to race. In this second collection of Boondocks cartoons, readers can get another look at this innovative strip.

In the early 2000s, these comics explore early political, pop culture, and comical black humor The Boondocks are known for. I'll have to look for the other books to see where Hueys vision takes him.

Well that is kinda cool, but I think the rest of it was great. I read the book, and all I see is Jasmine begging Huey for a dumb pony. I enjoy the book.
