Right To Be Hostile

"With bodacious wit, in just a few panels, each day Aaron serves up--and sends up--life in America through the eyes of two African-American kids who are full of attitude, intelligence, and rebellion. Each time I read the strip, I laugh--and I wonder how long The Boondocks can get away with the things it says. And how on earth can the most truthful thing in the newspaper be the comics?" --From the foreword by author and documentary filmmaker Michael Moore Each day, readers of over 250 newspapers count on Huey Freeman, a radical preteen conspiracy theorist, and his little brother Riley, a desperately cute thug-in-training, for a healthy dose of outrageous laughter. The Boondocks, Aaron McGruder's syndicated comic continually stirs controversy, tackling the most fiery hot button issues in society, popular culture, and the political arena. Now, McGruder compiles over 700 strips—including the post-9/11 strips banned in many newspapers across America—into a definitive Boondocks collection. From Vice President Dick Cheney to rap mogul P-Diddy to Star Wars' Jar-Jar Binks, no public figure or media icon can escape McGruder's mockery. With its unique blend of urban hip-hop style and edgy satire in the vein of Doonesbury and The Onion, A Right to be Hostile promises to both entertain and provoke.
