Comedy and controversy went hand in hand over the last ten years, and Aaron McGruder is one person to thank for that (besides Dave Chappelle). His national syndicated comic strip, The Boondocks, became a hit animated series for the Adult Swim network when it premiered in November 2005. The series centers around The Freeman family—ten-year old Huey, his eight-year-old brother Riley, and their grandfather Robert, and has received much attention for its intelligent and sharp social satire of American culture and race. The series concluded its third season in August but as of yet, there is no word on a fourth season.
