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

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.
Posted by: Patti M. at March 1, 2005 9:25 AMYeah... 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.
Posted by: B.O.B.(bob) at March 1, 2005 9:43 AMDon't say "pinch me". You'll be outed as a pinch-fetishist! And then they'll picket outside your door.
