Graduate Level Course: African American Studies
Someone with actual knowledge of African American Studies could probably do real justice to explaining the Boondocks daily. There's a lot of good stuff there. As it is, you are going to just have to stick to the stuff I found by Googling.
Googling racial overtones king kong led to14,600 results. Racial undertones king kong resulted in 836 hits. What does that tell us? That the racial component to King Kong is more of an "overtone" than an "undertone." I'm not really even sure what the difference is in those words. "Undertone" is "a quality underlying the surface of an utterance or action," and "overtone" is "a secondary effect, quality, or meaning." A linguist might be able to sort that out for you.
THE END.
Are you kidding me? I'm not touching this issue with a 10 foot pole. Do the Googling yourself! Or, enjoy the highlights: an NPR interview, comment in the London Times online, there's even a skinheads forum, but I think I won't link to them (Google it if you really want to find it). Being a "skin" "head" makes no sense to me anyway.
In other news, Kitty has made it through the year:
Yep, Sally, it's true, but you can resolve to be a better pet owner in 2006!

They can also resolve to get less trippy wall paint...I think today's Sally strip was inspired by Ces, in the joshreads.com blog. Last panel especially. We really dissed the Forths over the summer. I like how Kitty looks at Sally in the middle panel with that "Bitch I almost died and you want to RESOLVE! BE BETTER DAMNIT!!" look.
