The Boondocks is about 2 young brothers who were forced by their strict grandfather to move from their dangerous and drama filled urban neighborhood to live in the suburbs of Maryland. The bothers are polar opposites, one (Huey Freeman) is a revolutionary, the other (Riley) a product of gangsta rap and commercialized ignorance, while their grandfather (Robert Freeman) is an eccentric Vietnam Vet who is easily irritated by either one. The subject matter ranges from racism, civil rights, rappers to socio-economic differences, age, sex, politics and and even religion. However controversial the cartoon is, it has a large fan base and airs on Cartoon Network's [ Adult Swim ].
Arron McGruder and his creation The Boondocks has been one of many inspirations on my artistic journey.
