Wouldn't be surprised if he was also complicit with The Boondocks being removed from newspapers back in the day. He & Aaron McGruder was under the same publication syndicate, plus he wrote some passive aggressive stuff about him ...

Maybe you heard that the comic strip Boondocks is taking a six month hiatus. The creator, Aaron McGruder apparently doesn’t have enough time because he’s working on his animated TV show.
The interesting part is that he hasn’t drawn the strip himself for years. According to an interview I read, he considers himself more of a writer than an artist anyway.
I imagine Stephen King rolling over in his grave when he hears that McGruder doesn’t have time to write his four sentences per day for the strip. I realize Stephen King is still alive, but I assume he sleeps in a grave anyway.
Believe me – I understand how hard it is to work on an animated TV show, unless you have a big writing staff like the Simpsons. It’s literally 100 times harder than writing a comic strip. But still – four sentences? Come on.
So I started to wonder what sorts of writing jobs could be easier than writing comics. The only thing I could think of was writing traffic signs.
“Hmm… I need a sign indicating that the motorist should cease all forward motion. I’ve got it: STOP! Man, I’m burnt out now. I’d better take the rest of the day off.”
