The Boondocks was a daily syndicated comic strip written and originally drawn by Aaron McGruder that ran from 1996 to 2006. Created by McGruder in 1996 for Hitlist.com, an early online music website, it was printed in the monthly hip hop magazine The Source in 1997. As it gained popularity, the comic strip was picked up by the Universal Press Syndicate and made its national debut on April 19, 1999. A popular and controversial strip, The Boondocks satirizes African-American culture and American politics as seen through the eyes of young African American radical Huey Freeman. McGruder's syndicate said it was among the biggest launches the company ever had.

In the original run of The Boondocks in the college paper, The Diamondback, there was a gap from the 11th of December until the 31st of January, presumably because of winter break and the paper not being published at that time.

My Boondocks lore is not great enough to know for sure if Huey is in 4th or 5th grade, but either way he would be in his early 40s now, making him eligible to run for President. I would vote for him.
