Boondocks and the October surprise "A Publication Error"

The Boondocks by Aaron McGruder

I had to chuckle at how McGruder even had me wondering about the error especially after last week's Doonesbury censor by the Globe. Great job Aaron, thanks.

1. LOL.

2. Blondie

I'm looking for the 'Blondie' strips detailing her trip to Washington this weekend.

Or the 'Beetle Bailey' strip where Beetle, Sarge et al are shipped off to Iraq, and struggle with the killing of civilians, seeming lack of support from the native population, and confusion over how Iraq is helping America hunt down and capture bin Laden.

Wish I could draw....

3. Are you serious?

I've not been reading the daily stips for some time now. Please tell me that even the mainstream strips are now dealing with Iraq? Blondie and BB? I hope you're not kidding me.

4. Sorry, Kef.

You bin had.

5. I suspected as much

But there was a chance...

If you read about the history of both Blondie and BB, you'll find out that they both pushed progressive ideas at one time or another. (EG. Blondie was originally about class differences and BB has pushed for racial equality at various points in its run)

6. Sorry, Kef

I didn't intend it to provide false hope, thus the "I wish I could draw..." pining. (Though I see how the "I'm looking for..." could have thrown you off.)

Hey, feel free to offer more strip suggestions; maybe we can inspire someone with some skill to start generating some underground variants and bring those strips back to their roots.

7. ok -- boondocks

that's pretty damn good -- right down to the publication error.

8. It IS an "error"...

They won't be talking about the appearance of Osama bin-Forgotten as early as 10-3. That's too early, and the bounce in Chimpy's numbers will not sustain till the election.

Now if that was the Boondocks for 11-1, I'd say Aaron was spot-on.

9. This is not a far-out prediction at all

me and a few people I know agreed months ago that this exact prediction may very well happen.

Its nice that Boondocks has recorded this thought for posterity.
