Boondocks is among the best comic strips in the newspaper today.  It is one of the funniest, and is certainly the most in-touch with America's media dominated political axis as it plays out on the ground.   Aaron McGruder is on our shortlist for most important 20-something cartoonist in America.  This is a book that you'll find yourself picking up again and again for the sweet (and altogether wholesome, despite all the controversy) comic relief that it provides.  If you ain't hep, here it is.
