BOONDOCKS Comic Editorial on Voter Fraud TODAY -
Aaron McGruder puts it right out there today with his Sunday edition of Boondocks. It was so straightforward I was afraid he wouldn't get a laugh in there but he did!

Although McGruder doesn't read his mail:
“I’m completely isolated from all that,” he says. “I don’t read fan mail, I don’t read hate mail, I don’t talk to the newspapers. The only time I hear or think about my own strip is when the news calls and wants me to comment on something. I don’t really get feedback. I don’t really want it. It kind of complicates the creative process.”

We can (and I already did) write to the publisher so there will be support among the mountain of negative mail they will get. You can write too, at:

National Print and Online Syndication Sales
John Vivona, Vice President/Sales
Universal Press Syndicate
4520 Main Street
Kansas City, MO 64111-7701
(816) 360-6930
fax - (816) 932-6625
salesdirector@amuniversal.com

EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT.......

And here's an extra little article (not a great source but of course here's where I found it) on McGruder's calling Condi Rice a "murderer":

WASHINGTON – He did it again, but this time on national TV.
Aaron McGruder, a black syndicated cartoonist who's getting his own prime-time TV series on Fox, called National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice "a murderer" for her role in the Iraq war.

2. thanks for that - and how do you?
Hey - thanks!
I'm relatively new here so could you tell me how you include graphics in your message? I've been wondering and trials haven't worked for me.

7. instead of placing the actual graphic into the message buffer
you type (or copy and paste) in the link to the graphic.. and when you submit your post, the actual pic is revealed.

And here are the strips from the past few weeks. McGruder mentioned vote fraud in several of the earlier ones, too.

4. Write to the newspaper that printed it...
there will be a big stink by the rw dirtbags complaining about it. They need to hear from those that enjoyed it.

6. Already got called to verify letter to editor
We wrote locally and already got called, which in our town means we're sure to be in print on Monday.

I'm sure they were also grateful to get a "pro" letter because I know they're going to be bombarded with "NO!" letters.

5. Time to visit Freeperville
I'm going to mosey over to Free Republic and lurk, see what they've got to say about Boondocks. It would be entertaining....
