characters sometimes help the message. i found myself going "yes!!! that's exactly how it is!!!" with cindy in the strip acting like an idiotic ditz. it was satire of the american people and cindy was a symbol for all that. you can address so many issues using the characters. i always felt that the boondocks touched on political subjects even with the characters.

fuck, look at doonesbury. its almost always touching on current events and that strip has more characters than any other one in my paper.

thank you for understanding.
