    Aaron McGruder's Boondocks takes on Shawn Fanning, RIAA and makes as good a statement on DeCSS as you can in the comics (Feb 26-Mar 2) (free reg req'd)

    Someone provide a link which does not require registration for this strip, please.

    I think there are some gems out there. Boondocks is a riot, especially the Nader bit, and Get Fuzzy is great. Bucky is the ultimate cat.

    While we're discussing politically intelligent, well-drawn comics, I'd like to throw in a plug for Aaron McGruder's strip "The Boondocks". You can check out some of the strips here: http://www.boondocks.net/main.html

    It's a great strip, and one of the only ones worth reading in the paper anymore (along with Foxtrot, Dilbert, Curtis, and... I guess that's about it for my local rag). Sadly, it's also problematic, since it generates a lot of hate mail from all races, especially here in the south... The good thing is that McGruder has just recently published his first book collection of the strips.

    For a web comic, I'd have to say my hands-down favorite is Sinfest (http://www.sinfest.net). The art style is somewhere inbetween Bloom County and Calvin and Hobbes, though far more subversive and lewd than either. Enjoy!

      Has sort of the same feel as Bloom County (similar but farther-left politics, theme of "kids are far smarter than adults", etc) with some nice growth -- a hint of anime-esque drawing, nods to Calvin & Hobbes, etc. Easily my favorite "mainstream" comic strip now.

      A 'net strip. Wonderfully weird. My favorite -- and one the Slashdot crowd might like -- is new media new arse. I dunno, there's just something great about semi-sad stick figures. Really not like Bloom County at all, but since the thread is about comics I thought it was worth plugging it.

    If your local newspaper doesn't carry the controversial new comic strip The Boondocks, check out the lightsaber series starting here.

    I know just how the kid feels.
