Was it really? I wouldn't be surprised. I love Boondocks. It's one of the few comics that I read every day.

Image is linked to the story with the details. Yeah - a few papers wouldn't carry it.

Poor President Dimebag--he gets no respect.

Thanks for the link, by the way. Below is a version of what I posted to his blog:

I love "The Boondocks" and yesterday's strip was stellar.

When, oh when, will I and my fellow Americans awake from this national nightmare?

I thought once we had rid ourselves of Dan "Potato-e" Quayle, arguing with fake people (e.g., Murphy Brown and Huey Freeman) had ended. Sadly, this has just morphed into censorship of statements made by fake people.

Get a grip, people. This is like complaining about homosexual characters in PBS cartoons. If you don't like it, turn the page or turn the channel.

This country is cought up in a modern-day temperance movement, which is both amusing and aggravating. I'd say "pinch me," but as a previous poster said, it serves no purpose.

Yeah... Boondocks gets censored faily often. The Globe has even done it on occasion and you can't get a paper that is much more liberal than them.

Don't say "pinch me". You'll be outed as a pinch-fetishist! And then they'll picket outside your door.
