The Boondocks by Aaron McGruder for August 07, 2009
Transcript:
Caesar: Hey, if someone were to make a superhero based on you, what do you think his name would be? Huey: Please... Nobody would make a superhero based on me. It wouldn't be commercial enough. Besides, all the black superheros are corny. They'd probably give me a metal headband and yellow disco shirt or something stupid. I heard all the comic book companies are going out of business anyway. Caesar: The ongoing adventures of "worst-case scenario man." Huey: Besides, the C.I.A. will probably be coming for me any day now, so who cares about comic books.

The name “Angry Blackman” comes to mind.

Oh, gosh, nostalgia rush! Cynicalman used to run as a back-up feature in Zot!, a charming and funny superhero semi-spoof indie. Whatever happened to that guy, anyway?

The mantle of “obviousman” has been taken. Huey would be “the radical” (also taken in a sci-fi book series)

Very strange - there are NO comments about it being Obama’s fault with absolutely no connection to the strip…….
