Reaction To Possible End For Boondocks

imageThe Dallas Morning News' Mike Peters has by far the best round-up of reactions to yesterday's announcement that Aaron McGruder had declined to name a re-start date for his on-hiatus Boondocks strip. Folks like Brian Walker, the other Mike Peters and RC Harvey not only react to the news that McGruder may work in other media exclusively now but also sketch in a first draft of the feature's historical significance and artistic legacy if this is indeed goodbye.

As a measure of McGruder's star power, it looks like some version of yesterday's wire story ran in 80-90 papers, which is a pretty high number considering the story's indefinite status.
