First The Boondocks by Aaron McGruder for April 19, 1999
Transcript:
Huey: Riley, we're not in Chicago anymore... These people are well-off...comfortable. These are not the hard streets of the south side. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? Riley: I think so. I'm the hardest, baddest thing for miles, and I can run amok here without fear. Huey: No, let me try this again.

Never knew the Boondocks’ first strip feels the first strip of the great ones. A short but funny intro into the two main characters, Riley and Huey, and the setting of the story, Suburbia. Who’da thunk that it would literally become too popular for Aaron to keep on the print pages?

This is his first strip as far as national newspaper debut is concerned. Apparently he did some in college, and in The Source magazine. I’d like to see those one day.

I remember reading this comic when I was about 11 years old. I couldn’t believe that it had made it into a show on Adult Swim. Go Boondocks!
