Was “Joy of Painting”‘s Bob Ross a fair-skinned/mixed brother?
I always thought he was.
Cartoonist Aaron McGruder has messed with my head again.
http://news.yahoo.com/comics/uclickcomics/20060404/cx_bo_uc/bo20060404
Yesterday’s cartoon referred to Bob Ross (“only if they paint landscapes on public tv) – That ‘fro looked natural to me! I always thought he was a mixed fairskinned brother with African heritage. Now that I try and google information about him, I find no evidence of this.
Does anybody here know Bob Ross’s roots?
cyanne – with a name like yours, I should have guessed you would be involved in this question – hehe – do you know what nationality his hair was passed down to him from?
Oh & “white” is not a nationality or any form of roots in my opinion. Does anyone know what the man’s roots were? What countrie(s) his people were from?
He’s white. I knew him personally when I was a child. He is also a recovered alcoholic and a very interesting man.

Fresh for 01 You Suckas By McGruder, Aaron $18.8 Collects cartoon strips about Huey and Riley, two AfricanAmerican boys transported from Chicago to a very white suburban town to live with their grandfather, providing a caustically humorous portrait of the American racial and political landscape.

The Boondocks by McGruder, Aaron Edition ILL, 0 $19.49 The Boondocks took the syndication world by storm. The notoriety landed Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder in publications ranging from Time magazine to People magazine which named him one of the 25 Most Intriguing People of ’99. Centered around the experiences of two young African-American boys, Huey and Riley, who move from inner-city Chicago to the suburbs (or the boondocks to them), the strip fuses hip-hop sensibilities with Japanese anime-style drawings and a candid discussion of race. Funny yet revealing, the combination of superb art and envelope-pushing content provides one of the most unique strips ever. |

Public Enemy #2 by McGruder, Aaron Edition ILL, 0 $21.99 Here’s the next big collection of Aaron McGruder’s The Boondocks, the most subversively funny, controversial, and politically engaged strip to be found in America’s comics pages. Featuring Huey Freeman, a radical preteen conspiracy theorist, and his little brother Riley, a desperately cute thug-in-training, The Boondocks skewers targets from George W. Bush and Ralph Nader to Queen Latifah and Bill Cosby. With more than 500 previously uncollected strips—including strips banned from newspapers around the country—Public Enemy #2 is a must-have collection of the sharpest satire being crafted today. |

A Right to Be Hostile by McGruder, Aaron Edition ILL, 1 $17.49 Here’s the first big book of The Boondocks, more than four years and 800 strips of one of the most influential, controversial, and scathingly funny comics ever to run in a daily newspaper.“With bodacious wit, in just a few panels, each day Aaron serves up—and sends up—life in America through the eyes of two African-American kids who are full of attitude, intelligence, and rebellion. Each time I read the strip, I laugh—and I wonder how long The Boondocks can get away with the things it says. And how on earth can the most truthful thing in the newspaper be the comics?”—From the foreword by Michael Moore |

Fresh For ’01…. You Suckas by McGruder, Aaron Edition ILL, 0 $13.99 The Boondocks is a rich, multilayered comic strip that offers a frank yet often funny look at race in America. It starts with a simple premise: Two young boys, Riley and Huey, move from innercity Chicago to live with their grandfather. The tension increases, however, because the two boys are African-Americans now compelled to adapt to a white suburban world. They must take all they’ve learned in the hood and apply it to life in the ‘burbs. Superbly illustrated, The Boondocks has stirred controversy, attracted widespread media coverage, and won readers who’ve applauded McGruder’s unapologetic and humorous approach to race. |

Birth of a Nation by McGruder, Aaron Hudlin, Reginald Baker, Kyle Edition ILL, 0 $21.49 “A memorably funny satire. . . . You can’t put the book down.” —Boston Globe“Truly funny . . . a tale that will outlive its ties to current headlines.” —Washington Post“Hilarious satire reminiscent of the great 1940s moviemaker Preston Sturges’s best stuff. . . . Highly entertaining.” —Booklist“Birth of a Nation is a brilliant, biting, and witty commentary on the chaos of the 2000 election. Hudlin and McGruder have achieved that rarest of things: a political satire that is also an extremely important and moving work of literature, an achievement for any writer or any artist at any time. Birth of a Nation is a unique event in the history of African American literature.” —Henry Louis Gates, Jr.“With a creative team this talented, Birth of a Nation is a must-have book for everyone who loves comics and spirited African American storytelling.” —Charles Johnson, author of Middle Passage“Makes The Art of War seem like The Art of Bore.” —Chris Rock“Reggie and Aaron are doing to comic books what Public Enemy and NWA did to the music business.” —Ice Cube“Not since Mad magazine in its prime has a comic combined art, politics, and culture into such a hilarious and page-turning story. Don’t be disenfranchised—buy this book now!” —Alice Randall, author of The Wind Done Gone“Birth of a Nation is the wickedly funny marriage of The Boondocks, House Party, and The Battle of Algiers. Be prepared to laugh yourself silly while repeating over and over again—‘how true.’” —Julian Bond, chairman, NAACP |

Why is Aaron McGruder coming to Pittsburgh’s Byham Theatre and what’s he going to do when he gets here?
He’s going to give a talk. The articles about it are all kind of vague on the subject, but presumably he’s going to talk about politics from a liberal point of view, and about black culture (usually to be critical of it) just like he did in his Boondocks comic strip.
If you mean “why” from his perspective, the answer is probably “money” (the tickets aren’t cheap) but it’s also useful to have a soapbox from which to espouse his views.

The Boondocks by McGruder, Aaron Edition ILL, 0 $19.49 The Boondocks took the syndication world by storm. The notoriety landed Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder in publications ranging from Time magazine to People magazine which named him one of the 25 Most Intriguing People of ’99. Centered around the experiences of two young African-American boys, Huey and Riley, who move from inner-city Chicago to the suburbs (or the boondocks to them), the strip fuses hip-hop sensibilities with Japanese anime-style drawings and a candid discussion of race. Funny yet revealing, the combination of superb art and envelope-pushing content provides one of the most unique strips ever. |

Fresh For ’01…. You Suckas by McGruder, Aaron Edition ILL, 0 $13.99 The Boondocks is a rich, multilayered comic strip that offers a frank yet often funny look at race in America. It starts with a simple premise: Two young boys, Riley and Huey, move from innercity Chicago to live with their grandfather. The tension increases, however, because the two boys are African-Americans now compelled to adapt to a white suburban world. They must take all they’ve learned in the hood and apply it to life in the ‘burbs. Superbly illustrated, The Boondocks has stirred controversy, attracted widespread media coverage, and won readers who’ve applauded McGruder’s unapologetic and humorous approach to race. |

The satirical and edgy comic strip “The Boondocks” created by Aaron McGruder, has two younger brothers from African American downtown Chicago who explore life living with their grandfather in a suburban neighborhood of the city. The strip, which ran in the Union of April 19, 1999-March 26, 2007, was certainly not alien to controversy as “The Boondocks” has regularly received criticism from both, black and white communities with respect to strong left-wing View points. McGruder’s political views are often risqué even in these times.
Aaron McGruder was born in Chicago, Illinois, 29 May 1974, and at the age of six years moved to Columbia, Maryland with his parents and an older brother, where the family set their roots. After attending both a Jesuit and the public school, Aaron eventually came to attend the University of Maryland, where he graduated with a degree in African American Studies.
At the time of “The Boondocks” creation, McGruder was a DJ at radio station WMUC university while also debuted his new comic strip in El Diamante, the campus newspaper, in December ’96. McGruder pulled his strip out of the paper in March of ’97 after a break with the editor, who refused to print an apology for the omission of “The Boondocks ” in a publication because of what they said was a technical error. The strip is moved in the same year to appear on a monthly hip hop called The Source, where he quickly gained popularity and soon was syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate, making his debut in the country two years later, in April.
At its peak, “The Boondocks” was syndicated in over 300 different publications and by the fall of 2003, McGruder asked the help of the artist Jennifer Seng to take over most of the illustrations of the strip, while he focused on the dialogue. Although fans were worried about “The Boondocks” becoming LAME from this change, with no artistic influence McGruder made a point to have a hand in developing every single strip, if only to change a small detail or two, and remained true to his word.
Throughout the life of the Gaza controversy, routinely McGruder was attacked by the public, because he mocked most of the famous people and Orginazations on topics such as terrorism, government, and some well-known figures in the White House, such as Condoleezza Rice and conservative commentator Larry Elder, who figures are in the strip named the recipient of its “most difficult Black Person of the Year Award”, the “Old” later.
In some newspapers, “The Boondocks” was actually published on the Editorial pages instead of in the comics section and McGruder has even received hate messages from people for his viewpoints of the characters in his strip. In late February 2006, Aaron McGruder announced publicly that “The Boondocks” would go on hold for six months from March, and then resume again in October with tapes races appear again in the meantime. More than half of the papers that appeared in chosen to implement new strips instead of repetitions, and on 25 September 2006, the president of Universal Press Syndicate announced that the comic was not coming back, although no explanation or a word to withdraw from the Gaza permanently McGruder was in charge.
