My view is that he went insane after the war started. McGruder can occasionally be funny especially on cultural issues - but after the war he just got weird for the most part. Like the "find Condi a man" obsession over the past few weeks.
I tend to agree with you on this one. I found one or two of his strips to be funny but he quickly devolved into hysterical shrillness.
Contrary to what some folks say around FR, I like the way he draws the comic, I just don't like the content. It must be sad for him to be so furious at the world. He is a classic revolutionary punk.
