Syndicate Says 'Boondocks' May Not Return - washingtonpost.com

Syndicate Says 'Boondocks' May Not Return - washingtonpost.com

Why do all the best and brightest cartoonists quit? It's not a done deal, yet, but signs are good that Aaron McGruder, creator of one of the freshest comic strips to appear in years, is bowing out of the daily funnies. Looks like he is keeping the TV show going, so maybe that's just a more rewarding medium for him.

"Although Aaron McGruder has made no statement about retiring or resuming The Boondocks for print newspapers . . . newspapers should not count on it coming back in the foreseeable future," Universal's president, Lee Salem, said in the release. "Numerous attempts . . . to pin McGruder down on a date that the strip would be coming back were unsuccessful."
