Book Reviews of All the Rage: The Boondocks Past and Present
Book Review: Strip is a 10, tv show is a 7...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been awaiting the release of this book for what seems like forever, it is SOOOOO amazing! This book is definitely the best out of all the previous collections of strips. The book has a bunch of interviews with McGruder & articles about the strip. As well as banned & censored strips, uncensored & reasons why they where censored. This collection is VERY substantial, 267 pages with little blurbs (both good & bad) in between strips from mostly newspapers as well some of the people McGruder disses, Larry Elder, Al Sharpton & the like. The book is divided into 3 parts...
Part 1: The Strips 12/04 - 12/05
Part 2: Media (interviews & articles about the strip & McGruder) 7/99 - 7/06
Part 3: The Controversy 5/99 - 3/06 (uncensored strips before & after, comments about which newspapers didn't run which strips, why people where offended, a really Great comment about the Washington Post "Now that I am safely retired from the print world, I'd like to say that the Washington Post were some real b****s on this one" about a Condi strip)
I have to admit when I read that previous comment about the Post, I was ever so sad, I still have even the tiniest of hopes the strip will return someday. I mean the show is fine, but the strip was so timely, which you can't get from a cartoon, that has to be created months & months ahead of its airdate. The only episode that was just as great as the strip was the MLK episode. If Aaron McGruder happens to ever see this, I am begging you, PLEASE BRING THE STRIP BACK! I HAVE NO REASON TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING WITHOUT IT! I obviously miss it terribly, but this book does make me feel all warm & fuzzy, Thanks, Aaron!
I would recomend this book to everyone who misses the strip, who loves the TV show, Larry Elder, Al Sharpton, Bob Johnson, everyone at any newspaper who has ever banned or censored The Boondocks & mostly to every idiot that wrote a letter or called your local newspaper to complain, you either watch too much BET or have too much "rich white guilt" to understand or enjoy this smart, funny, amazing, witty comic!
