You can't put Ralph Nader on television and expect people to vote for him. This is America. People don't like smart, nerdy guys. You don't run Ralph Nader. You run a real good-looking guy and Ralph Nader tells him what to say.Aaron McGruder on the university circuit. Man, I wish he (or Vonnegut) had been my graduation speaker. Instead we got the head of IBM or Coke or some bullshit.

I saw Aaron McGruder on Charlie Rose a few few years ago, just when the Boondocks was taking off. He was so understated on the show and refused to talk about his strip in political terms. Wow, Aaron McGruder grows up!

I LOVE Aaron McGruder, too.

Boondocks and Harper's Magazine are the only places anyone is telling the truth about Bush and the craziness being created about Iraq and the so called Axis of Evil. Has anyone seen Lewis Lapham and Aaron in the same place at the same time???

Bob. You need to look harder. Boondocks and Harper's are great, but they are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to questioning Bush.

They may be just the tip of the iceberg, but they are also (sings) a few of my favorite things. God I love Lewis Lapham and Harper's -- though I admit I've been reading Harper's less lately because it's just so goddam saddening. I've been reading novels instead.

I just want to know when the new Boondocks is coming out? PLEASE don't tell me that you're not coming out with another book!!!!! I've been waiting on your new book since the last one came out.

Wait a minute...Ann Marie, you talk as if Aaron actually reads this site. Does he? 'Cause if he DOES, I need to figure out a way to post my picture an my phone number, because he is HOT!
I think he and I would make an EXCELLENT couple, and we'd have TONS to talk about.

is the boondocks strip still going to be animated?

I think that it is refreshing to find a young black male with educated points of view, and willing to express them, no matter what they may be. Aaron has no boundaries and can hopefully live his life that way for years to come. I am only 19, so you don't find that often in my generation.

Arron if you see this i just want to say i am very proud of the work u do. i did not really who know who wrote the boondocks i mean saw a pic of you. It wasn't until u did that series on vh1 about minorities. then after i saw you on an interview. i was so stund with your interview. and all i can say i just continue what you are doing and atleast someone is talking about what is really going on with our political society.

I love the Boondocks, "Isn't almost good enough" Bush campaign. There is "almost" have enough material to go on for months. keep up the good work.

I discovered the genius of Aaron in '99 and he hasn't let me down yet! Keep up the good work! I hope he gets a chance to put out an adult cartoon, it would give 'The Simpsons' a run for there money. And what is up with the voice actors being on hiatus due to salary disputes?Pull it together people!
I LOVE U AARON--I may be 6', but its all good!
