#BoondocksBack The following message is from Aaron Mcgruder. “Did these for fun (and to see if I still could). More to come… exactly how much more is tough to say. These strips were only possible due to the enormous talent of my good friend Seung Kim, who did the animation for the old show - and he’s a busy guy. Thanks to him and thanks to Charlamagne for putting these out for me while I get my instagram act together.” AM

guess Aaron is putting an IG for it together?

But I don't know, it felt like something that was so of it's time, it feels weird if it comes back.

although it kinda looks too slick (I preferred the more unpolished look)

the jokes? meh. about what one would expect

it appears he's continuing in the more pg-13 range, which is what it is, but I really do miss when it was a simpler story about actual Black kids in a "fish out of water" environment and less a Black Doonesbury with cussing

Easy to forget that there was a whole story line where Huey and Riley were waiting for the first Star Wars prequel and Grandad volunteered to be a census taker.

there actually was controversy

then 9-11 hit and the innocence was lost (r.i.p "flaggy"...or was it "flaggie")

>the jokes? meh. about what one would expect

feel like they should take advantage of IG letting you post 10 images to actually construct a narrative and build to the joke

or at least not try and cram 4 panels into one image.

trying to find a way to play with the format, that is

i wonder if he is that invested though, as opposed to this being a lark that he may toy with occasionally

especially considering he solicited someone else (who by his own words is a busy cat) to actually do the artwork for these

can't call it

i *DO* find it fascinating that CTG is the one who he filtered these through

i wouldn't have assumed these two were tight like *that* (although if ya gotta pick somebody with the intent of making a splash, picking someone with a high profile is wise)

but yeah i can't tell how invested he is in IG despite it really being the best way of distributing it. There's no real way to monetize it on IG tho so that's a whole time expense for an intangible return.

edit: i remember being surprised the first time i heard him mention it because i kind of forgot about Aaron.

"These strips were only possible due to the enormous talent of my good friend Seung Kim, who did the animation for the old show"

but i'll take what i can get

i kinda feel like Boondocks graduated to longform storytelling now.

i'll be extremely happy if this turns into a daily IG cartoon strip

I would check the front page then the boards

The bit works better now

everything is in the op/cthagod's post

the little dots weren't showing up. DISREGARD

i was looking at these posts last night before i made this thread like "what am i missing here" then i saw the little slideshow icon when i went back to CTGs page.
