So the happy news that I discovered today is that according to the Hollywood Reporter, Cartoon Network is in final negotiations for a deal with Sony Pictures Television to do a half hour series called "Boondocks." You may not be familiar with Aaron McGruder's Boondocks comic strip, but it probably ranks as my favorite one out there right now. (I read old Bloom County ones as well, but the current relevance of Boondocks sets it just a bit apart.) ANYhoo, the political/racial humor are a natural fit for the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for sure.
