Before Black Twitter became the authority for pointing out cultural irregularities, there was The Boondocks.
The socially “woke” comic strip was created by Aaron McGruder back in 1996, becoming Hip Hop ally through appearances in The Source magazine and its critically acclaimed Adult Swim cartoon series.
Since the television series went off the air in 2014, McGruder has focused on his other Adult Swim creation Black Jesus. But on Tuesday (February 5), he called upon Charlamagne Tha God’s Instagram reach to spread a new and relevant comic he crafted, simply because he felt like it.
“Did these for fun (and to see if I still could),” McGruder wrote through the Breakfast Club host’s social media medium. “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.”
The impromptu comic finds series antagonist Uncle Ruckus being interrogating as a member of Donald Trump’s controversial cabinet before drawing the ire of Huey, Riley and Granddad.
Check out the rest of the new Boondocks comic down below while McGruder gets his Instagram act together.

Boondocks was a good show growing up. I started watching it again on Hulu. It’s been years
Oh shit, it’s on hulu?!
Yeah. It’s on Hulu.
Please bring back The Boondocks………….we need it now more than ever.
I loved the original Boondocks. Hopefully the new one isn’t a constant Trump bashing fest as if there isn’t enough of that already out there..
No such thing as too much trump bashing
Good to shows growing up. 90s Simpsons. Futurama. Family Guy. Boondocks. South Park. Now Rick and Morty. South Park still going good.
I allways new that if they brang back the boondocks it would be TRASH…..Any thing that they bring back is allways gonna have Trump bashing SJW pro gay climate change men bashing BS…. I’ll pass
Wonder if they will bring back spellcheck?
I think you missed a lot of the sarcasm in the comic strips, dipshit. Especially the one with MSNBC.
>pro-gay
The fuck did gays do to you?
>climate change
I didn’t see it mentioned but now that you bring it up, it is proven scientific fact, dumbass.
>men bashing
I didn’t see anti-masculinity propaganda so what the hell are you going on about.
Boondocks coming back will just end up being whined about by leftists and rightists because it’ll attack both sides which will make both sides whine like hell. This isn’t the 2000s anymore.
Did you read the originals, nothing has changed it’s still great. Of course it’s going to be trump Bashing, The fact that we got a president dumber than bush cannot be ignored.
