Beginning today, "Boondocks" joins The Sun's comics lineup, appearing both in the daily pages and Sunday's color comics package. The new strip about an African-American family that moves to the suburbs is young, fresh and edgy. Its hip-hop characters and rapid-fire banter are the creation of Columbia resident Aaron McGruder. To make room for it, The Sun has eliminated "Andy Capp," whose original creator died last year.
