Synopsis

Here's the next big collection of Aaron McGruder's "The Boondocks," the most subversively funny, controversial, and politically engaged strip to be found in America's comics pages. Featuring Huey Freeman, a radical preteen conspiracy theorist, and his little brother Riley, a desperately cute thug-in-training, "The Boondocks" skewers targets from George W. Bush and Ralph Nader to Queen Latifah and Bill Cosby. With more than 500 previously uncollected strips--including strips banned from newspapers around the country--"Public Enemy #2" is a must-have collection of the sharpest satire being crafted today.
