It looks like fans of Aaron McGruder's sometimes controversial "The Boondocks" comic strip will have to rely on the television version to satisfy their appetites.
Universal Press Syndicate, which distributes the strip, announced today that McGruder has decided not to resume the newspaper adventures of Huey and Riley after a six-month hiatus.
"We haven't decided on a permanent replacement for 'The Boondocks' yet," Brown said. "Several strips are under consideration."

Shouldn't be that hard to find an American hating racist that can scratch out some bad drawings. Is Bin Laden still out of work?

How will the comics fulfill it's "mean-spirited racist claptrap quotient" now? There's one called "Candorville" that's trying hard to fill the void.
