The Boondocks 20 Year Anniversary

The Boondocks recently turned 20 — its characters deserve to get a little shine for their enduring impact.

The greatness of the Boondocks expanded across comics, eventually making its way to television for a successful 3 (lets not talk about that 4th season) run on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim.
