since there are so few hip hoppers who overtly espouse a political view. For that, I tolerate it.

But it's not funny any more. He's not nearly the storyteller Berke Breathed is/was. His characters - at this point - are only there to be mouthpieces for his political views. And his artwork is a lot less impressive, since he's pretty much drawing the same three panels over and over again.

I already have political views that are similar to his. Without the other things I expect from a comic strip - nice art, good/compelling story telling, and/or humor - BOONDOCKS is redundant to me. I tolerate it, because if it vanished tomorrow an important voice would be missing from the political landscape, but PERSONALLY, I don't need it.
