The Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder and partner Reggie Hudlin have signed with Sony to take the edgy comic strip beyond the funny pages.
Sony will simultaneously develop TV and feature projects based on the strip, now seen in 350 newspapers nationwide. McGruder and Hudlin have been charged with writing a pilot script and hammering out an animated feature treatment.
The Boondocks revolves around two inner-city kids, Huey (a revolutionary in the spirit of his namesake, Huey P. Newton) and Riley (a wannabe gangsta), who move to the suburbs with their slightly-out-of-touch grandfather.
