The Boondocks (eBook, ePUB)

Because I Know You Don't Read the Newspaper

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The first anthology of the beloved comic strip that inspired the critically acclaimed Cartoon Network show. In 1999, Aaron McGruder launched a cultural phenomenon with his smart and bitingly satirical comic strip, The Boondocks. It centers on the experiences of two young African-American boys, Huey and Riley, who move from inner-city Chicago to the suburbs (or the "boondocks" to them). The strip fuses hip-hop sensibilities with Japanese anime-style drawings and a candid discussion of race. In this first collection of Boondockscartoons, you'll discover the funny yet revealing combination of superb art and envelope-pushing content in one of the most unique strips ever.
