Black and White

Y'know, at first I was sorta disappointed that Boondocks was starting over from the first strips, right when the whole group was about to go out and start a revolution. I thought I had read all the early ones, but turns out I was very, very wrong. And that there is some funny stuff early on, with a little bit of a different tone, even. This one just cracks me up:
I'm not sure why, exactly I think this is so funny. I guess it's because it's got a lot going on for a three panel comic. First of all, he's just a gutsy kid, which is fun to watch. Then, there's her righteous indignation, which seems at first appropriate to whatever degree. And then, faced with his unflinching exposition of the problem, her avoidence strategy just seem so realistic.
