I don't know if it's because of the demographic I'm in, or my odd choices in life, but as of late, I find myself increasingly drawn to NPR because of some of the material they have been or will be covering. The Calvin & Hobbes story linked to here is a perfect example. As is the story they will be doing soon on The Boondocks, which recently premiered an animated series on Cartoon Network. I first ran into The Boondocks when I was in summer school my senior year of high school, when a classmate dropped off a copy of Source magazine in the classroom as he was done with it. I was quickly drawn to the comedic style of the artist. I guess I'm one of those people who has broad enough interests that I can find humor and something to respect in most people. Even though Aaron McGruder may be an angry young man, I respect his comedic approach to life and the ironies that it presents to us each and every day. Per my norm, I end this post with a bit of randomness: "I, for one, welcome our robotic overlord masters." |
