The Boondocks by Aaron McGruder for February 11, 2012
Transcript:
"Classic 'Boondocks,' originally printed March 31, 1984." Huey: I don't quite trust this Saddam Hussein fellow over in Iraq, granddad. Did you know he's been a C.I.A. asset since 1958 and the C.I.A. helped him take control of Iraq in 1968? Now he's actively using weapons of mass destruction, and Reagan, Bush and some guy named Rumsfeld just love him to death! Granddad: Huey? Huey: Yes? Granddad: I'm gonna burn your "Bloom County" books if you don't let me sleep.

Too bad so few were paying attention back in ’04 when McGruder first drew this strip.

As someone who grew up on Bloom County and was overjoyed to find The Boondocks as an adult, this strip hits me right here.
