This is it, the moment we have been waiting, today is the 28th anniversary of The Boondocks' syndication.
I have done some more digging into the history of the strip, and I found the FAQ from Aaron's old website.
A: The Hitlist strips are pretty much gone forever. There were some really funny jokes but Aaron is highly sensitive about the style he drew them in. The characters have changed drastically since then. The O.G. fans know that Grits actually appeared a few times in those early days. Don't worry, he'll be back. The Diamondback (U of MD newspaper) strips will probably also never be seen again. Those were the ones we put up on our old site before the strip got syndicated. You can find the original Source strips in the June, July, and August issues from 1998. Most likely they won't ever get put up on this site but we'll let you know if that changes. Many of the situations from the earlier strips have been updated and worked into the current storylines. The ones that haven't resurfaced are ones that were topical for the time period. (i.e., the strip about KRS-One's basketball commercial) It is likely that more of the early storylines will be updated.
For those unfamiliar, I have, with the help of other internet sleuths, uncovered the pre-syndicated Boondocks strips that were published in The Diamondback college newspaper. I also found two of the three spreads printed in Source Magazine.
