Occasionally. I had always liked the art style when I read it in the papers, and was curious when it came out what it would be like animated. I agree with some of the others on here that Grandpa is my favorite character.
I thought it was going to be another "white people are stupid" show, but it turned out to be better than that.
Biggest misconception about this comic - truth be told, this comic confronts a great deal of absurdities in the black community (i.e. sensationalizing R. Kelly, snitching, the Martin Luther King episode is classic).
The Boondocks is a 'thinking' comic. Picks up where Garry Trudeau left off and is still going with Funky Winkerbean, except younger and hipper in its approach towards readers.
Oh yes, I love Huey and I really dig the Dubois family. Great dynamic in the way Huey tries to culturize Jazmine when she's conflicted with her bi-racial identity.

I love The Boondocks! That Jazmine girl was me as a kid. When you're bi-racial like myself there's always a back and forth with your identity, especially while you're young and impressionable. McGruder has a fun way of working all social issues like that into a comic like Boondocks.
