Why is Aaron McGruder coming to Pittsburgh's Byham Theatre and what's he going to do when he gets here? Asked by laurasavvy - Mon Jan 29 10:24:36 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. He's going to give a talk. The articles about it are all kind of vague on the subject, but presumably he's going to talk about politics from a liberal point of view, and about black culture (usually to be critical of it) just like he did in his Boondocks comic strip. If you mean "why" from his perspective, the answer is probably "money" (the tickets aren't cheap) but it's also useful to have a soapbox from which to espouse his views.

I like his tv animated series but I need his unique brand of intellect on a daily basis to deal with the foolishness of modern day American life. I do not buy the Detroit News because he is no longer carried by it. Huey was my inner voice made manifest in corporeal print form. Mr Mcgruder, Zion needs you to defend us from the Matrix, Peace.

As previously noted, McGruder is concentrating on his Adult Swim TV cartoon. He has also said, in a talk late last month at a college in Florida, that he got sick of doing the daily newspaper comic strip. He said it was Bush, Bush, Bush all the time, and we already get it that Bush is stupid. But McGruder had been on "hiatus" from doing the daily strip since the spring, for a scheduled six month break. (The strips running the meantime were reruns, as you may have noticed.) He was apparently tired and stressed out from doing the strip daily. Universal Press Syndicate got anxious as early as September whether he was going to resume as scheduled in late November '06. In November he finally told them that he was not coming back at that… [cont.] Answered by Will Be Missed - Sun Dec 3 16:52:27 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Aaron McGruder" |
