I love Lalo Alcarez -- and I miss The Boondocks.

1. Didn't know about this luminary myself, thanks for the info

Sort of reminds me of Benson's View. At least when I was stuck in AZ and got his political cartoons, he showed a great left hook.

Oddly enough, that Benson is the breakaway son of one of the top LDS leaders. Head honcho, I think.

I love stories like his. Shows an independent thinker to have grown up in such a restrictive household. Francis (<how I love that name!) Schaeffer.

2. La Cucaracha is a Latino-themed strip drawn by Lalo Alcarez; The Boondocks (1996-2006)...

... was a strip drawn by Aaron McGruder featuring a diverse (really diverse) mostly African-American cast of characters. McGruder was so good, witty and intelligent and well-drawn, and I really miss him. Every so often Alcarez does a little homage called The Beandocks -- usually with his guy emailing 1stBlackPrez.

I get the Los Angeles Times, hence their funny-papers, but mostly these days I go straight to Yahoo.com/comics.

3. Yes, they want him to agree to being 3/5ths of a man and women to agree to being 0/5ths of a human.

I miss boondocks, too, it had a great sense of humor.
